The patch looks good to me, but I think that whole "out-then-inside"
thing should be mentioned in the texinfo manual.

Additionally, I think a link to
  @node Disambiguating names and IDs
would be nice in there (like in '@node chown invocation').

BTW:
As id(1) is also using the leading "+" as disambiguation,
I think that chapter should be generalized more, and also referenced
there.

BTW2:
A side note for the info pages: it is not documented that --userspec
also accepts the dot ('.') as separator between the user and the group,
but this is true for chown(1), too (the other program using
parse_user_spec for user *and* group parsing, id(1) does not).

Thanks & have a nice day,
Berny
