I've only briefly scanned what I think is the relevant code in tangle.lisp
posted by Tim Daly, but it appears that the @ must be the first character
on a line, which with indenting I've never seen in a Clojure source file.
It would be a tiny change to make the @ required to be on a line by itself,
which would make it even less likely to ever appear in a source file.

Of course, there is nothing magic about the syntax or the tangle.lisp
source code that parses it that says a developer must use them -- I think
one of Tim's points is that these tangle programs are so simple you can
cook up one of your own very easily.  That can be an advantage or a
disadvantage, depending upon whether you want a de facto standard used by
many developers for this purpose.
