description: Quantifiable assertions `?=` ("followed by")
info: |
Term[U] ::
[~U] QuantifiableAssertion Quantifier
QuantifiableAssertion ::
( ?= Disjunction )
( ?! Disjunction )
The production Term::QuantifiableAssertionQuantifier evaluates the same as
the production Term::AtomQuantifier but with QuantifiableAssertion
substituted for Atom.
The production Assertion::QuantifiableAssertion evaluates by evaluating
QuantifiableAssertion to obtain a Matcher and returning that Matcher.
Assertion (21.2.2.6) evaluation rules for the Assertion::(?=Disjunction)
and Assertion::(?!Disjunction) productions are also used for the
QuantifiableAssertion productions, but with QuantifiableAssertion
substituted for Assertion.
