How about making its interface more like shell-command:

(defun texinfo-eval-to-texi (form &optional insert)
   "Evaluate FORM, and display it and the result as a @lisp Texinfo command.
With a prefix argument, insert the Texinfo command in the current buffer.

When called from Lisp, the command is returned as a string."
   (interactive "sForm to evaluate: \nP")
...
   (if insert
       (insert texinfo-command)
     (with-output-to-temp-buffer "*Texinfo*"
       ;; too bad we can't force the buffer into texinfo-mode
       (princ texinfo-command)))
   texinfo-command)
