We used a preprocessor to put tables into the POD for the Camel.
Lists don't seem to occur all that often in technical docs, so it
doesn't seem to be all that big a problem in practice, though we
could certainly talk about improvements.  As for per-document policy,
there should certainly be some kind of

    =use module

directive that, like Perl's C<use>, is something more than just an
"include".
