Re: info goto node with dot

[Karl Berry]

    anymore, eg the above example tells you that there is no node
            "yes invocation."

Oops, of course.

    If you don't have a genius idea how to overcome this problem

My only idea is far from genius -- Emacs Info must have solved this
somehow (since it can find Matching vs. Searching, and can also find yes
invocation).  Perhaps via devious use of complex regular expressions, as
I recall from looking at the code long ago.  Perhaps, if you feel like
looking at that, and what is done there is comprehensible, it could be
brought into Info.

No direct idea about how to distinguish them is coming to mind.  Hmm.

I wonder if Emacs Info can find Matching vs. Searching in a dir node:
* dottest: (python-whatever)Matching vs. Searching.         Description.

Offhand, I can't imagine how that could be done, except by actually
reading the python-whatever info file and constructing the node list,
and I'm sure it doesn't do that.  Maybe that's how it handles links
within an info file, though.

Sorry, just rambling ...
