Pod::Simple::Text currently generates the new warning about an unmatched \E

$ ./perl -Ilib -MPod::Simple::Text -we0
Useless use of \E at lib/Pod/Simple/Text.pm line 74.

This warning found a genuine bug, which has already been fixed upstream:

https://github.com/theory/pod-simple/commit/f2b4c7de80d10a9b952dfafbc47f7e9b5071b894#lib/Pod/Simple/Text.pm

However, it's not yet released, so isn't merged to blead.

We shouldn't ship 5.16.0 with this warning still being emitted.
