But you won't retroactively change texinfo.el for Emacs-21.3 anyway, so this
shouldn't be a consideration.  Either it's fixed in Emacs-CVS and you can
use it for Emacs-CVS's texinfo.el or it's not fixed in which case you should
get it fixed first.  AFAIK it is fixed.

And how do you specify the case of "\f\\|@node" ?
Nah... just make it possible to use a function and be done with it.
