Hm, should we be teaching "@variable" in a FAQ? Maybe I'm paranoid, but
I have the feeling this might lead to people not distinguishing between
"@foo" and @foo, which gives the "why do I get weird spaces at the
beginning of my lines" error, among others. (And does funky things with
"$ref" as well.)
