Any reason for using the \A ... \z assertions instead of the commonplace ^ ... $ metachars? I believe that's the first I've seen those two used. More generally, is there a difference, outside of multiline-matching mode?

\z only matches at the end of the string, but $ can match before a newline at the end. Unless you're using multiline mode, \A and ^ are the same.
