Why is it outside the scope of the GNU Project?
This is probably a silly hack, but here are some ideas to have a
"dynamic" Emacs manual. Basically, write dynamically, publish
statically. A rough plan:
1. Convert the Emacs manual from texi to org.
2. Leverage `where-is' and the macro replacement facilities of org---(info
"(org) Macro Replacement").
3. Export the org manual to texi.
