According to Jim Meyering on 1/26/2008 11:39 AM:

| I've just applied this:
|
|  2008-01-26  Jim Meyering  <address@hidden>
|
|       Emit "info coreutils 'PROG invocation'" into the man page,
|       rather than just "info PROG".  The latter would often fail
|       or simply display the man page.
|       * man/help2man: Change the template.
|       Prompted by http://bugs.debian.org/399684

However, the info manual recommends:

|   So, there is a convention to name such sections with a phrase
| beginning with the word `Invoking', as in `Invoking Emacs'; this way,
| users can find the section easily.

Maybe the better fix would be renaming all the nodes in coreutils.texi to
comply with this convention?
