Actually, as Lute pointed out, in: @defvar imenu--index-alist the `imenu--index-alist' does get treated @code-style in the variable index (like everything else there, by default), so it does seem inconsistent not to do it everywhere. The TeX error has however nothing to do with an implicit @code. (I just got confused for a moment.) Of course, it is due very concretely to the problem Andreas pointed out. What is not clear to me is whether the problem is there because of oversight or because one just does not care about @verb inside @code or @defvar. Sincerely, Luc.
