Maybe another, minor, consideration: There are likely many references to parts of the manual out there, beyond Emacs (e.g. on web sites). In some cases a reference might be just textual, e.g., "(eintr) Yanking". In other cases it might be a URL to the manual on line, e.g.: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eintr/Yanking.html (URLs can be redirected, of course.)
