Just wanna chime in that this is not perfect, for other reasons: For
e.g. 'C-h S' on 'print' does not give the index item "* built-in
function; print" because, as you can see, it's not named appropriately
in Sphinx's generation.

Speaking about python, many libraries (such as PyTorch & NumPy) use
Sphinx, but the info generation has bug when it uses 'numpydoc' that
requires a little manual fixing of the .texi.
