I should have said `Thanks!' for that.

I guess I don't have a half-decent completion mechanism - just ido. But this 
got me looking at info, which I do not know well enough. 

It turns out that (upper case) `I' followed by `header argument' followed by 
RET pops up an `Info Virtual Index' which is what I wanted. 

And this works even without any completion add-ons.
