I disagree; completion should be provided for any value that the command
accepts as an argument, so Juri's patch does the right thing.  I've
committed it to trunk (with a minor fix).

(If one wishes to get fancy, I suppose one could define a completion
category override to cause completion to favor manuals in existing Info
buffers.  Not sure if that would produce confusing results, though.)
