This doesn't work with texi2pod.pl and the advantage of fixing it is
far beyond the little rendering gain we would have in this case.

Also I think the correct syntax is @samp{@@}, but this is a very
obscure corner case (possibly overlooked by the same creators of
texinfo) and the manual doesn't mention how the user is supposed to
escape special characters, thus we should avoid its use.
