I think I need to clarify. This is how export to info works _now_.
However, nothing stops us from implementing direct export org->info
without intermediate org->texi step. Someone just needs to do this job.

Sorry, but I am lost here.
Currently, Org mode does not support all the markup supported by
texinfo. But we will change that.
Meanwhile, Org implements info/manual export by ad-hoc extension
allowing to add texinfo-specific markup. This is not ideal, and it does
not need to be done after we do add the missing markup (Org equivalents
of @kbd, @var, and other)

For example, @kbd{C-c C-x C-c} or @var{org-export-backends}.
