Clarify Node->find_parents() documentation (CPAN RT#122715)
Further deprecate tokenizer method prior() in favour of prior_significant_token()
Add requirements_for_perl()
This is analogous to the CPAN::Meta::Requirements method requirements_for_module(), though the output is formatted differently

Add accepts_perl()
This is analogous to CPAN::Meta::Requirements->accepts_module()
I decided that CPAN::Meta::Requirements was overkill, but this may turn out to be the wrong decision, so I will be careful what I expose
Document behaviour of perl_version_introduced() and perl_version_removed() when a feature is re-introduced after removal, or re-removed after re-introduction
