In your original bug report you wrote:
Good node names let you find appropriate nodes using completion etc.
However, the name `Positional Register' makes it harder to find all
register related nodes using completion because it doesn't begin
with a common word. Currently these node names begin with a common prefix
`Reg'. So it would be better if they all had a common prefix that is
a complete and clear word `Register':
RegPos -> Register Positions
RegText -> Register Text
RegRect -> Register Rectangles
RegConfig -> Register Configurations
RegNumbers -> Register Numbers
RegFiles -> Register Files
I see no problems with this change because an Info "breadcrumb" line
is still short, e.g.
(emacs)Top > Registers > Register Rectangles
and the header line will fit into 80 columns as well.
