I would greatly appreciate the ability to have footnotes in POD (not as much for
normal module documentation, as for books and articles).
But am I right in inferring that having it be an interior sequence means that one
couldn't have a footnote that contains multiple paragraphs (nor codeblocks, since
those are a kind of paragraph)?
