💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so. this class represents whitespace. yes, the empty-looking stuff. iconic of it honestly.

it will appear inside the regular expression only if the /x modifier is present, but it may <em>also</em> appear between the type and the opening delimiter — like in qr {foo} — or after the regular expression in a bracketed substitution — like in s{foo} {bar}. so it's got range. she contains multitudes. 🫶

and if the /xx modifier is present, it can also appear inside bracketed character classes. this was introduced in Perl 5.25.9 ⭐ so if you're on something ancient, no she's not there yet, sorry bestie 😭

---

🧚 METHODS 🧚

this class provides no public methods beyond those provided by its superclass. she's not adding anything new to the conversation, she's just existing beautifully 💜
