OK I see it now.  
There is a reason spc may be used ... to complete.
if you `i' info<spc>  The `i' is converted to uppercase then press
<RET> you go to `22.8 Completion for Symbol Names'  If you press spc
twice then you get `Info index' which goes there to.
So the <RET> in first instance finishes completion then jumps there I
guess.  Any way that was the source of my confusion.

So it seems the index search already leads to this info quite well.
Sorry to have wasted your time.
