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.

Research direction
