Thank you; I appreciate nit-picking, since these are the kinds of things
that are easy to overlook!  I've added the @ symbols (see attached).
However, are they really necessary?

According to (texinfo) Multiple Spaces, inserting an @ followed by a
newline inserts a single space into the output.  That's what we're doing
here, right?  But even when I omit the @ symbols at the end of the
lines, the TexInfo manual builds without error, and the procedure
definition appears to render just fine in the stand-alone Info reader.
Unless the intent here really is to insert just one extra space between
some, but not all, of the arguments, I think we can probably omit all of
these @ symbols.  WDYT?
