Okay, then:

>>#Pm<< -- block named "Pm" (anchor)
>>Pm<< -- block using Pm CSS class (which may or may not be

Well, there's two issues:
- Several markup languages use '===' for headings (PmWiki's '!!!'),
and some people/sites are likely to want to preserve that
(and I don't want to prevent it).
- In the past I've stated that lines beginning with '=' are reserved
for custom markup -- i.e., that PmWiki wouldn't define such a sequence.
So, I'd have to retract that position, or at least say that it no
longer applies to v2. I don't have a big problem with doing this,
as there have been several times (including now) that I wish I
had '=' available to me and wish I had reserved a slightly longer
sequence. And perhaps our need to reserve a markup for local
customization is now reduced since we tend to use (:...:) for
custom things.
