I just realized that this would treat names such as "J. Random Hacker"
incorrectly. That would then have to be written as "J.@ Random
Hacker". I still think that the new heuristics I described would do the
right thing more often, but perhaps it shouldn't be changed, since many
manuals have names in that format.

So I decided not to proposed the change to the Texinfo maintainers after
all.
