And, so far as I know, we've _NEVER_ had any problems with it. It has
simply worked. More to the point, makeinfo has never given a warning
about it.
There are situations in which it would not work.
Specifically, if you try to follow a menu item like this,
* Init Example: Sample .emacs File.
Info would look for a node called `Sample '.
There is no way to detect that there is a problem with that
menu item (except that it will probably fail to find that
node), so we decided to put in a warning for using a node
name that is susceptible to the problem.
