[help-texinfo] Local table of contents within a node |

Hello,
I would like to generate a "local" table of contents inside a node.
This table of contents should sit at the beginning of the node and
list all sections and subsections within this node. As an example,
consider the following node:
@node Foos and Bars
@appendix Foos and Bars
@c TOC HERE
@unnumberedsec foo
@anchor foo
@unnumberedsec bar
@anchor bar
When generating the manual, I'd like to have a table of contents
listing "foo" and "bar" at "TOC HERE".
Is that possible with Texinfo? If not, what alternatives would
you suggest? I'm aware that I could just split the node into sub-nodes
for "foo" and "bar" but I'd rather like to avoid that because the node
serves as reference listing that I'd really love to keep on a single
page (particularly because keeping it in a single page in HTML, when
using the in-page search).
My concrete problem is that the manual of my Emacs extension has a
list of programming languages the extension supports [1], together with
customisation options for each language. As you can see, the page
definitely misses a brief list of languages at the very beginning:
Currently you have to read through the entire document (or use
isearch/in-page search) to find out whether your language is supported.
Greetings,
Sebastian Wiesner
