It's not just <<>> and @ it's ^<<>> and ^@. This ruins LaTeX indentation
when R chunks are not at the top level. Would be good not to pin them to

Might be tricky. But this should be a user problem who plans to change
the delimiter. If we can make noweb generically depend on customizable
delimiter and ensure that it works with standard delimiters, our job is
done.
