There are some duplicated keybindings in help.el already: both `C-h n' and `C-h C-n' are bound to `view-emacs-news'. But `C-h i' is used more often than `C-h n' or `C-h C-n'. Why we have duplicated keybindings for `view-emacs-news', but can't add a new for `info'? -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
