OK, but "info emacs" is shorter and works on all my platforms (none of
which have gnome-open installed, all of which have info in /usr/bin,
including the BSD-based ones -- exception of course is Windows, which
isn't "my" platform and I did have to explicitly install info there).
OTOH, neither "xdg-open info:emacs" nor "open info:emacs" do anything
useful.
Note that "info" doesn't need to be info in the future; it can be a
program that does the right thing with program names (ie, translating
them to URLs to hand to a browser).
