Pod::Man takes the more conservative approach and only italizes foo() and
not foo(arg).

foo(\d[a-z]*) is also given special treatment and considered to be a man 
page.  It also puts simple variables $foo @foo and %foo in a fixed-width
font.

These extra transforms are in the appropriately named Pod::Man::guesswork().
