It is actually an inheritance from plain TeX, where \' is just a
simple accent construct.  In plain TeX, one types \'\i which is
reasonably easy to type.  @'address@hidden, however, is not really
pretty.

Texinfo is not smart about encodings like LaTeX is.  It is a package
on the level of plain TeX.
