Hello developers,
Some things I would like to see in `info` someday:
* When searching restarts from the top or bottom, indicate this in
the echo area. Like vim or nano do.
* Do not say "* Menu" before a list of cross references; it doesn't
add anything. If that is not possible, then at least don't use the
same character before "Menu" as is used before each menu item -- it
always, for a split second, makes me think that Menu itself is a
menu item.
(This latter change appears to be non-trivial: changing the line
#define INFO_MENU_LABEL "\n* Menu:"
to for example
#define INFO_MENU_LABEL "\n= Menu:"
makes `info` stop working entirely and fall back to man pages.)
* The possibility to colourize cross references, so that they stand
out on a page. Like HTML hyperlinks.
