Rakudo does not recognize POD variables of the form $=podSection. As
an example, the following program fails with the message "Symbol
'$=miscData' not predeclared"​:

  #!/usr/bin/env perl6
  use v6;

  =begin miscData
  You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all different.
  You are in a little maze of twisting passages, all different.
  You are in a maze of twisting little passages, all different.

  You are in a maze of little twisting passages, all different.
  You are in a maze of little twisty passages, all different.
  =end miscData

  .say for $=miscData.lines;

If $=miscData is predeclared with "our $=miscData;" (which I don't
think should be necessary), Rakudo will still not initialize it with
any POD-related data. The problem also occurs if "miscData" is
changed to "DATA", and attempting to access the POD section via
"%=POD<miscData>" does not work either, as %=POD is also not declared.

This problem was observed on Rakudo Perl #​18 ("Pittsburgh") with
revision 39599 of Parrot on Mac OS X 10.5.6.

Variables of this sort don't even exist in the current state of S26.
Things like %=POD or $=POD<foo> are not yet agreed upon either.
Rejecting.
