Description
What question should the reference manual answer?
What does @ mean in @List.nil Nat?
Additional context
It might be there, but I couldn't find it. If it is there, the request is to make it more findable:
- When searching for
@, it currently doesn't show this usage of@ - I also couldn't find it in sections 10.1-10.4, where I would have expected to find it.
