This is not possible with the `Info-history' variable since it
actually is a stack, not a list of all visited nodes.  However,
in CVS there is a new internal variable `Info-history-list' which
holds a list of all visited nodes and which is used by the `Info-history'
command (bound to `L').  You could try it and see if you still think
`Info-forward' is needed.
