Should that not use the entire header for the location name? Something like #Yada_Yada_Operator_operator_yada_yada_operator?

Ah. Then this change needs to be made to Pod::Simple, too.

pod-people, does it make sense to allow headers to be on more than one line, e.g.,

    =head2 Yada Yada Operator
    X<...> X<... operator> X<yada yada operator>
