OK.

Right now info mode only supports node based navigation.  It would be nice if it
supported history navigation similar to the metaphor used by web browsers.

So for example.  Say we have the following nodes:

foo
 |
  - bar
 |
cat
 |
  - dog

In the above scenario, foo and cat are in the directory node, bar is a child of
foo and dog is a child of cat.

If I go to the following nodes in this order:

foo, bar, cat dog.

There is no way to navigate based on history.

IE web browser have the ability to go back and forward based on history.

Any thoughts here?  This would be trivial to add.  For browser fans it would be
nice to bind M-left and M-right so that you can use the same history commands in
Mozilla.
