0.9.1.10. Formatting code-ish things in text

Right now, the `@...@' shortcut notation means: Format this and automagically index it as for the code parts of the document.

Strictly speaking then, I think the `@...@' notation should only be used to refer to things that actually exist in the code parts of the document, and not for code snippets, fragments, and other things mentioned along the way.

For this latter task, perhaps a `\code[<language>]{<text>}' command is in order. This says: format this <text> as for <language>, but don't index it or pretend that it actually has anything to do with the real code in the program.
