It has come up very very often that I want to bold (and sometimes
italicise) things in verbatim blocks.
So I end up just writing a "PRODUCTION:" note afterwardw like so:

  open COUNTER, ">counter.dat" or die "Can't write-open: $!";
  flock COUNTER, LOCK_EX;
    # So only one instance gets to access this at a time!
  print COUNTER $hits;

PRODUCTION: bold the "LOCK_EX", and ital "only one instance"


But I keep really really wanting real support for doing bold and itals in
verbatims.  So what does everyone think of extending Pod so that verbatim
sections allow bolding like this?

    flock COUNTER, LOCK_EX;
#:                 ^^^^^^^

And maybe itals with something like
    
    # So only one instance gets to access this at a time!
#:       /////////////////

(as to how to do bold-and-ital, I dunno... "%"?


Thoughts, anyone?
