Emacs Dev has nothing to say about the format used for Info? Interesting.
Too bad, truly.
Emacs has a long tradition of font-locking `...' in doc strings. Why?
The reason for that (readability) is an even stronger argument for doing
the same for Info, where it matters even more.
And that would have been a good argument for Texinfo to keep the `...'
syntax for Info. Alas, Emacs Dev has never wanted to highlight `...'
in Info (even as a user option, and even though patches were available).
Again, too bad. Poor Emacs.
[This is like changing Lisp to use )lambda )var) )1+ )foo 42 var))) or XML
to use >foo>. Good candidates for an April Fool's joke; nothing more.]
