Since this new version is supposed to be bug-for-bug compatible, I will wait
until later to test the current known bugs that I know about in (Perl) kernel-doc.

For a preview of most of them, you can read:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/3a6a7dd0-72f1-44c6-b0bc-b1ce76fca76a@infradead.org/

and its follow-up email (today).

There are quite a few problems with parsing function parameters that use
typedefs.
