The contents of @author go straight into HTML, just like most other
Javadoc material. So if you want to have a "<foo@bar.com>" e-mail
address as part of the author information, the angle brackets must be
escaped. Here I've opted to do that using "{@code <foo@bar.com>}",
which has some additional styling effects that seem appropriate for
e-mail addresses. We could also have used "<foo@bar.com>" for
escaping without code styling.
