It should be @var{name} to express that it is a metasyntactic variable
that stands for something called ``name''.
It is true that that the name it stands for will be the name of an
environment variable, but that is a secondary fact about it. The most
crucial fact about this metasyntactic variable is that it is a
metasyntactic variable. So we should format it like metasyntactic
variables, which is what @var does.
In formats which allow distinctions of type face, we should indicate this
with italics, and the metasyntactic variable name should be in lower case.
