Would you override 'parse_file' and 'parse_from_file' so they call
'reinit'? Potential threading issues there, but a tolerable kludge
for backward compatibility. Or, are Module::Build and
ExtUtils::MakeMaker even using those method names? Those are pulled
straight from Pod::Simple. Did you have the same method names in
earlier versions of Pod::Man, or could the old method names hold the
backward compatibility hack?
