@chapter @address@hidden o} works for processing as TeX, but makeinfo
doesn't like it. It would be easier to fix makeinfo to ignore
@-commands it doesn't know about in @math (perhaps only counting
matching braces, and not doing any @-command interpretation at all),
than whatever would have to be done to get the backslash to work with
TeX.
