Damian Conway view on pod configuration values

The following text is a verbatime quote from an e-mail received from Damian Conway in response to my asking him for his view on legitimate values for pod configuration keys:

My intention was always that the meaning of adverbials in Perl 6 Pod
should be exactly the same as everywhere else in Perl 6. Hence:

:a{}              ---> 'a' => %empty-hash
:b()              ---> 'b' => ()
:c('') ---&gt; 'c' =&gt; ''
