It's rubbish.  I may not have been good documenting it, but part of the
reason is that the requirement does not make sense.  I'll try to see
whether I manage to squeeze it out from the parser while Carl rewrites
the docs.

The combinations of the various argument types require six examples to
show all in all.  It would appear that your objections are more focused
about the HTML layout of @table @var (something I admit to not even
having looked at since I work with the generated info files) rather than
about giving an argument by argument breakdown.

Texinfo has only a limited number of formatting constructs.
