And I think it does not hurt users to be reminded that curly
quotes are not as easy to type as straight quotes (with many/most
keyboards), and that Info is about things like search and not
only about display. Thanks to Marcin for reminding us all.
It is perfectly legitimate to discuss possible new features on
this list, as well as current limitations & possible workarounds.
