I doubt its usefulness too because it doesn't allow TAB to add the
closing paren automatically as it does for a single completion,
but as a comment in `Info-read-node-name-2' says:
;; If the file name ends in a standard suffix,
;; add the unsuffixed name as a completion option.
So code adds both "elisp.info" with a standard suffix ".info"
and the unsuffixed name "elisp".
This means this intentionally is a feature, and not a bug.
