The problem with a hint-based mechanism is that it will generate
false hints. If added, we may end by needing to add extra tags to
disable the hints mechanism where it gets wrong, or to periodically
do code changes at kernel-doc comments in order to make the hints
logic happy.

So, IMO, we should provide non-hints based mechanism, like forcing the
string that prepends the colon to have a keyword that will make it to
parse the block as literal, where expressions like:

	See the code-block foo:
	See the following code example:
	See the following flow diagram:
	See the following artwork:

Is the best alternative to avoid "::", as on the enclosed patch.

But this, too, is a hint-based mechanism.  Thanks for the patches, I'll
keep them around, but I would like an opportunity to try to do better
before applying them.  I fear that using magic words in this way will
lead to a constant stream of surprises, and I'd like to avoid that if
possible...

Thanks,
