Whether or not it's a good idea to reformat text is orthogonal to
whether or not it's a good idea to use display properties to do it.
given that any non-markup approach is heuristical, we might as well
expose the option to try different heuristics (including the null
"as-is" method) to the user. emacs can take a best-guess stab and the
user can cycle through the lower priority methods w/ some key. if they
bookmark the info page, its preferred display method can also be saved.
i would welcome such a facility if display methods themselves can be
registered by the user, because then i could write (for example) a
method that deletes/hides the explanatory text and leaves just the
function/variable blocks, or one that inserts annotations saved in a
separate file. this way i would have a more personal relationship w/
the info pages.
