Also, more generally, consider that formats that begin with a colon

mentioned above :
=begin :method
=head2 X<C<foo>>
Documentation of foo() here...
=end :method
That's all legal POD that shouldn't mess up existing parsers.
Ah. I should have RTFM. The :biblio example is exactly the kind of
semantic tagging I'm talking about. It's a shame it's so verbose but
already existing is a plus :)
I wonder how you'd tag a subroutine that can be called as a method or
a regular subroutine. Is
=begin :method|sub
legal?
I can't see a definition of what characters are allowed in an
identifier in perlpodspec or whether garbage is allowed a the end of a
=begin line.
