That function seems very useful. Perhaps it should go in texinfo.el.

These modes really ought to be subdiided. Ideally a node would be no
more than 40 lines. Practically speaking, some do need to be longer,
but if a node is 100 lines long we should try to split it up.
Splitting a node well is not a mechanical task -- it calls for real
writing.
