I do not know the reason for dropping M-TAB, but defining S-TAB to
`Info-prev-reference' was made to make it easier for users. Going
backwards to previous link with S-TAB is what is found in those GUI
browsers I have used.
S-TAB is bound in a similar manner in help and custom buffers too.
I see no reason not to bind M-TAB too in info buffers if that is
desirable. In that case I believe it should be done in help and custom
buffers also.
