The @anchor shouldn't be needed, the Info reader should just search
for the first occurrence of "progn" in the node. ISTR that at some
point the stand-alone Info reader did that, but I'm not sure, and the
latest version doesn't AFAICT. Maybe we should enhance info.el to do
that.
In any case, the printed manual produces a more targeted reference
from a 2-argument xref.
