Sorry about the lack of action on this.

I believe it's intentional and not meant to be expanded. It's been this
way since 1996 (5.003_12) and there's no mechanism in the source that
would interpolate the any variable contents into the .pod files.

I suppose it could be clearer but there's no actual bug here IMO.
