Why not?  (And why must an option be something that's
_commonly_ modified by users?)

In this bug report you have a user asking about the
format/content of Info, with no way to find out about
what's happening, without filing a bug.

`Info-streamline-headings' isn't covered in any manual,
AFAICT.

Maybe this variable isn't intended for users.  Dunno.
But at least we've heard from one user asking about
the its _effect_.
