+> pagespec, "internal" (non-user-visible string), ref to an array of one of
+> those scalar types, or ref to a hash { string => one of those scalar types }.
+> IkiWiki::Setup also appears to support regexps (qr//), although that's
+> not documented (presumably they're treated the same as strings).
