     This would also allow references without any *note and :: in text,

 * Info:
-  - When scrolling through the help text, it should stop at the end, not
-    report "No more nodes" and go back to the beginning.
-  - It would be nice to be able to specify a preferred key to report in
-    the help message, instead of using the last one set; cf. q vs. C-x C-c.
-  - Full-text search across all info files installed on the system.
   - Perhaps comply with LANGUAGE setting on a per-node basis, to allow
     incremental translation of Texinfo files.
   - Display images when running under X, as Emacs 22+ can.
