DESCRIPTION
       This class is of interest to people writing a Pod processor/formatter.
       This class takes Pod and parses it, returning a parse tree made just of
       arrayrefs, and hashrefs, and strings.
       This is a subclass of Pod::Simple and inherits all its methods.
       This class is inspired by XML::Parser's "Tree" parsing-style, although
       it doesn't use exactly the same LoL format.
METHODS
       At the end of the parse, call "$parser->root" to get the tree's top
       node.
Tree Contents
       Every element node in the parse tree is represented by an arrayref of
       the form: "[ elementname, \%attributes, ...subnodes... ]".  See the
       example tree dump in the Synopsis, above.
       Every text node in the tree is represented by a simple (non-ref) string
       scalar.  So you can test "ref($node)" to see whather you have an
       element node or just a text node.
       The top node in the tree is "[ 'Document', \%attributes, ...subnodes...
       ]"
