I don't want any newlines needed at all, though I think I stand somewhat alone
here.
I don't like the emty space on my screen when I have to do things like (cut
from see RFC 130):
|
|=head1 CHANGES
|
|=over 4
|
|=item *
|
|Detailed implementation description
|
|=item *
|
|Add a new pragma 'varlock' for controlling the concurrency control.
|
|=back 4
|
|=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
Where's the info? There's to much empty lines in there! One has to search for
the info. It better be written as (be able to):
|=head1 CHANGES
|
|=over 4
|=item *
|Detailed implementation description
|
|=item *
|Add a new pragma 'varlock' for controlling the concurrency control.
|
|=back 4
|
|=head1 DESCRIPTION
Or for the real compression freaks, no empty lines at all.
