# of parsing Pod into treelets (generally one per non-verbatim paragraph), and
# to call the proper callbacks on the treelets.

# Every node in a treelet is a ['name', {attrhash}, ...children...]

  #
  #  * Something that isn't a start or end code.  We have to be careful
  #    about accepting whitespace, since perlpodspec says that any whitespace
  #    before a multiple-bracket closing delimiter should be ignored.
