# Really? Which requires more typing => or =bullet?
Actually, I find short words easier to type than a single punctuation
character.
Which is easier to read and understand? Remember, the meaning of => in
Perl code is very, very different from a bullet. This isn't in Perl
code, but it's still psychologically weird to have it mean something so
different.

OK, that's a legitimate gripe. It's also a separate one. Can we adjust
POD so that you don't need an extra newline between commands?
Personally, I don't see a problem with making all /^^=/ magical.

Wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in
New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. And radio operates
exactly the same way. The only difference is that there is no cat.
