One issue with @enddots is that the recommended way to use @enddots
should also qualify as an end-of-sentence.

One idea that occurs to me is that you should write `@enddots{.}',
with a period in the argument.  That period would be ignored by the
command, but using it will make this look like end-of-sentence to
Emacs.  In this test case,

	Foo@enddots{.}  Bar.

both M-e and M-a recognize the sentence end in the middle.

It's possible that use of the period there requires no change in
either texinfo.tex or makeinfo--only a change in the manual.

Karl, what do you think?
