[Catalyst-dev] pod docs suggestion

I'm not sure if the POD authors for Catalyst are aware of the new Code markup command: C<<  $some->code() >>

It makes it easy to markup things which have arrows in it. I quote from
http://perldoc.perl.org/perlpod.html

 With the Pod formatters that are standard starting with perl5.5.660, doubled angle brackets ("<<" and ">>") may be used if and only if there is whitespace right after the opening delimiter and whitespace right before the closing delimiter! For example, the following will do the trick:

    C<< $a <=> $b >>

In fact, you can use as many repeated angle-brackets as you like so long as you have the same number of them in the opening and closing delimiters, and make sure that whitespace immediately follows the last '<' of the opening delimiter, and immediately precedes the first '>' of the closing delimiter. (The whitespace is ignored.) So the following will also work:

    C<<< $a <=> $b >>>
    C<<<<  $a <=> $b     >>>>

And they all mean exactly the same as this:

    C<$a E<lt>=E<gt> $b>
