=head1 NAME
PPIx::Regexp::Token::Operator - Represent an operator.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use PPIx::Regexp::Dumper;
PPIx::Regexp::Dumper->new( 'qr{foo|bar}smx' )
->print();
=head1 INHERITANCE
C<PPIx::Regexp::Token::Operator> is a
L<PPIx::Regexp::Token|PPIx::Regexp::Token>.
C<PPIx::Regexp::Token::Operator> has no descendants.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This class represents an operator. In a character class, it represents
the negation (C<^>) and range (C<->) operators. Outside a character
class, it represents the alternation (C<|>) operator.
=head1 METHODS
This class provides no public methods beyond those provided by its
superclass.
