> Hi, I think it would be nice if pod had a new tag for defining colors.

I think the most useful thing to add would be a generic formatting tag,
analagous to =for/=begin, for endless extensibility.  Off the top of my head,
I'd say:

  "G<" type ( "|" text ( "|" anything )? )? ">"

  G<color|This is red!|red>

  Here is a link to our internal bug tracker: G<bug|some bug|1234>

...and so on.  The default behavior would probably be to replace unknown types
with just the text.

Then people can plug in and provide any formatting code they want without
having to provide a bunch of new code and cause conflict, etc.

I'm not motivated enough to go implement this.  I'm just saying that this would
be a nice way for people to get extensible formatting codes without having to
keep extending the spec.
