After reading things in somewhat more detail, it seems that you still describe `imenu--info-alist' in as much detail as before, you just do not mention its name. I believe it would be better if you at least mentioned that the return value of `imenu-create-index-function' is stored in @code{imenu--info-alist}. I believe that, as the return value of `imenu-create-index-function', `imenu--info-alist' is not an internal variable. Strictly speaking, it should not have the two consecutive dashes in its name.
