This doesn't work for me. However, the following does:
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.info\\'" .
(lambda () (interactive)
(info (buffer-file-name)))))
I think this has too bad consequences: it visits the Info file,
but doesn't display it. Instead, it displays another buffer
with the Info manual.
Maybe `dired-info' from `dired-x.el' is more suitable for your needs?
At least, it doesn't visit the Info file.
