The previous output was incorrect, as the whole definition line was
formatted as code, which is incorrect for the category of the definition,
which is normal text. Now, the translation tree arguments are formatted
as code when needed (for {class}, {name}, {type} {arguments}), but the
whole line is formatted as normal text.
I can imagine other ways to obtain the same result, for instance using
@t{--}, or outputting separately the leading '@tie{}--- ' and the
remaining, but those options entail a change in the translations.
There could be an option, maybe, which would be to add a new pseudo
type _no_code such that code style is removed for {category} but the
whole line is formatted as code. Would that be better?
