+This is a test to see if I can do not only C<$self> and C<method()>, but
+also C<< $self->method() >> and C<< $self->{FIELDNAME} >> and
+C<< $Foo <=> $Bar >> without resorting to escape sequences. If 
+I want to refer to the right-shift operator I can do something
+like C<<< $x >> 3 >>> or even C<<<< $y >> 5 >>>>.
+
+Now for the grand finale of C<< $self->method()->{FIELDNAME} = {FOO=>BAR} >>.
+And I also want to make sure that newlines work like this
+C<<<
+$self->{FOOBAR} >> 3 and [$b => $a]->[$a <=> $b]
+>>>
+
+Of course I should still be able to do all this I<with> escape sequences
+too: C<$self-E<gt>method()> and C<$self-E<gt>{FIELDNAME}> and C<{FOO=E<gt>BAR}>.
+
+Dont forget C<$self-E<gt>method()-E<gt>{FIELDNAME} = {FOO=E<gt>BAR}>.
+
+And make sure that C<0> works too!
+
+Now, if I use << or >> as my delimiters, then I have to use whitespace.
+So things like C<<$self->method()>> and C<<$self->{FIELDNAME}>> wont end
+up doing what you might expect since the first > will still terminate
+the first < seen.
