I'd like to propose some matching for the elisp mode support, so
lookups will go to an exact position.
* info-look.el (emacs-lisp-mode): Add prefix/suffix matching regexps.

I don't understand. Could you explain what change in behavior this
is supposed to result in?

In an elisp mode buffer, "C-h C-i nth" opens a window with the "List
Elements" node from the elisp manual, but showing the top of that
node. With the change instead the window position shows the
"Function: nth" part and highlights `nth'. Similarly commands or
variables from the main emacs manual.
(This is the purpose of the prefix/suffix regexps scheme in info-look,
hence the terse changelog entry.)
