Kei,
Just an aside on this important matter.

While there's some precedent in Guix for using @code{} for marking
up package names when they'll be used mainly in actual source code
(e.g. @code{My::Perl::Module}), that's a specific case with a
specific rationale.
A more suitable tag here would be @command{}. However, there seems
to be an informal(?) consensus not to use it when talking about
the package as a whole/project, but only when referring to the
actual command (binary) itself. Some descriptions don't follow
that convention, though, so it's at best a grey area.
I don't think programme names should be marked up all purdy just
for being programmes.
Kind regards,
T G-R
