Yes, the "the" in my sentence was far too strong.  I use @def because
- the indentation is much better than that of table
- indexation comes for free
- the fonts are pretty clear and make it easy to find the documentation
  of something (in addition they seem bigger)
- the ability to leave a note on the left most part is nice.

Gosh, no!  @table is overindenting IMHO.

@deffn {Book} {Parsing Techniques -- A Practical Guide} {-- Dick Grune and
Ceriel J. Jacob}
Published by the authors; ISBN: 0-13-651431-6

A remarkable review of all the parsing techniques.  Because the book is
out of print, its authors made it freely available:
