I considered that, but I don't think it's a good idea: it's better to fix a
bug (when feasible of course) than to sweep it under the rug with some hack.
If the bug is fixed, it's fixed for everyone, if I make Info.vim bug-
compatible I make my reader harder to maintain and that bug still persists and
will eventually bite someone when they want to implement their own Info
reader.
