I'd prefer not to use up a potential binding for this small convenience. `C-h C-i' may be unbound now, but another use might be found for it later, one better than simply duplicating what `C-h i' does right now. If we bind it to something common and important like `info', it'd be hard to change that later. So there's one objection :-). -Karl
