When documenting our public API in some places we use '@' to
refer to the variable. For instance:
* This API tries to set guest time to the given value. The time
* to set (@seconds and @nseconds) should be in seconds relative
* to the Epoch of 1970-01-01 00:00:00 in UTC.
However, when generating HTML documentation these tokens are
copied verbatim. What we can do is drop the '@' character and
wrap the variable in <code/> so that it is formatted properly.
Due to the way we 'parse' docs a token might actually be slightly
more than just '@variable'. For instance in the example above we
will have the following tokens: '(@seconds' and '@nseconds)'.
Thus we need to handle possible substring before and after
variable.
