why not

How about:

Bit ugly, but it should work. Additional stuff after "method" could
provide more metadata, etc.
Yeah, that could work. I wonder which is more likely to gain traction:
* backwards compatible / slightly verbose
* incompatible / concise
I suppose either would be adopted if there were tools that made good
use of it. And the backwards compatible approach clearly has the
advantage of backwards compatibility :)
Life would be so much easier if there weren't 1,000,001 ad-hoc POD
parsers out there.
