I see that:
https://docs.raku.org/language/pod#Delimited_blocks
=begin head1
Top Level Heading
=end head1
So back to my original question, where are the "=end xxxx" for
the other blocks?
I am confused.

As I said, they're abbreviated blocks. Keep reading.
https://docs.raku.org/language/pod#Abbreviated_blocks
Abbreviated blocks
Abbreviated blocks begin by an '=' sign, which is followed immediately
by the typename of the block. All following data are part of the
contents of the block, thus configuration data cannot be specified for
an abbreviated block. The block ends at the next Pod6 directive or the
first blank line.
=head1 Top level heading
So basically, since they did not contain a "begin",
`=begin xxxx`, they do not use and `=end xxxx` and
the terminate themselves after the first blank line.
Do I FINALLY have it down?
Also, in
https://github.com/tadzik/perl6-Config-INI/blob/master/lib/Config/INI.pm
since these Abbreviated Block were inside his
=begin pod
=end pod
He was just being fancy since they would have no
effect anyway as they were inside a comment already?
