Well, there are lots of problems with Pod::Simple::Checker because it
doesn't do stuff to figure out where it is. I've had to turn off
Test::Pod in a couple modules for that reason.

Curiously, I think Perl 6's current Pod spec is going to have the same
problem.  Any line that starts with a = currently triggers Pod mode, no
matter what is going on.
