14.1.2 Inserting '{ '}' with '@{ @}' and '@l rbracechar{}'
----------------------------------------------------------

'@{' produces a single '{' in the output, and '@}' produces a single
'}'.  Do not put braces after either an '@{' or an '@}' command.

  '@lbracechar{}' and '@rbracechar{}' also produce single '{' and '}'
characters in the output.  They do need following braces, as usual for
alphabetic commands.  In inline conditionals (Note: Inline
Conditionals), it can be necessary to avoid using literal brace
characters in the source (and may be clearer in other contexts).
