[bug #43406] @deffn inserts unwanted whitespace

[Werner LEMBERG]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #43406 (project texinfo):

[To have the complete discussion on the bug tracker, I'm adding comments sent
to the bug-texinfo mailing list.]

Patrice:

It is on purpose.  An @-command delimitates a special value on the @def* line,
in the same way as braces do (except when in the ARGUMENTS... part), so @t{A}
is an argument, and then it gets its space.  The manual says:

  As a general rule, when any of the arguments in the heading line
  _except_ the last one are more than one word, you need to enclose them
  in braces.  This may also be necessary if the text contains commands,
  for example, '{declaraci@'on}' if you are writing in Spanish.

Which means, in my opinion, that you should have put braces.

That being said, it is not specified in the manual that a braced command
delimitates a value on a @def* line, so this could also be changed.
