Description

Near EntityWithPrefix, there's the line:

The symbol is a "type application" and requires the TypeApplications@ language extension.

which in the source file is

-- The @ symbol is a "type application" and requires the @TypeApplications@
-- language extension.

That first @ symbol should be escaped, methinks.
