Would someone please delete all the @tindex commands from the Emacs

What's the point of this?  The node "New Symbols Since the Previous Edition"
is now empty.  Should:

  @node New Symbols, , Index, Top
  @unnumbered New Symbols Since the Previous Edition

  @printindex tp

also be removed from elisp.texi?

The symbols that had @tindex were new in a previous edition.  They
aren't new any more.

      The node "New Symbols Since the Previous Edition"
    is now empty.

We can either delete that node, or add new @tindex commands to the
symbols that were not in the previous edition.  Deleting the node
is much easier, so would someone please do that?

I've done that.  Note that people must have started adding new symbols,
although the old ones might not have been deleted, because the node had 240
lines in CVS but only 160 in 21.4.  However, I'm not sure what the value of
this node was.  Likewise for some of the other lists like "Standard Keymaps"
and "Standard Buffer-Local Variables" - they're just a maintenance burden -
although, having just updated the latter, I'm not suggesting that we delete it
now.

I think they are useful to suggest standard values people might want to use.

I already did (at your request).

Yes, I saw that after sending the new request.  Thanks.
