   Still, even if it had worked, wouldn't it be best that the @defvr
   macro treats multiple hyphens like @code does?

Maybe, but what about 

@defvar imenu@verb{|--|}index-alist

I had my suspicions about using space, even though it would be OK
according to the Texinfo manual, because LaTeX does _not_ allow space.

Sincerely,

Luc.
