Lack of command highlighting in texinfo-mode

Lack of command highlighting in texinfo-mode

[Christopher Dimech]

What code takes care of texinfo highlighting for the following
Contents in @anchor do get highlighted, but there is no highlighting
for most of the others by default.  This makes code very difficult
to introspect.

--------

Colourising inside @anchor
  @anchor{bibl-lin-moschetti-ritzwoller-2008}

Colourising inside @sc
  @sc{Lin, Fan Chi}

Colourising inside @strong
  @strong{Surface wave tomography of the western United States}

Colourising inside @uref
  @uref{http://ciei.colorado.edu/pubs/2008gji.pdf,,[@sc{Complete Article}]}

`texinfo-font-lock-keywords' perhaps?

You want texinfo-font-lock-keywords, I think.

Yes, but why don't we change texinfo.tex so there will be some good highlighting
by default.

Because no one had that issue itching enough to be scratched, I
suppose?

I know that Protesilaos Stavrou is an expert in the field of "Accessible Themes".
We have a good opportunity here, so that major modes in emacs get a face that
helps readability using some pretty good metrics.
