To me this supports even more changing the Texinfo language to have
braces for @bullet or @minus on the @itemize line, as not having them
seems to be permitted by an implementation detail of the TeX
implementation.

I attach a diff for the Texinfo manual to remove the permission not to
have braces for mark commands on the @itemize line.

Would that be ok to apply?
