Tuomas' "`Handling Bugs`_" PEG specifies that an RFC 2822-like
syntax should be used to mark failing PEGs. However,

- RFC 2822 headers are supposed to be at the beginning of
 something; putting them at the end of something
 (as "Handling Bugs" does) isn't really well-specified
 and needs our own parser.
- These headers aren't meant to be used in docstrings.

Therefore, I propose to use reStructuredText_ field lists
instead. They're designed to be very much like RFC 2822 headers,
but can appear anywhere in a reST fragment-- and reStructuredText
was designed for use in Python docstrings.

.. _Handling Bugs: ../bug_test--tjl/peg.html
.. _reStructuredText: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html
