Ah, there's a thought! The reason I wanted to document
imenu--info-alist is that the manual currently documents
imenu-info-alist. I thought the name was changed, but from Imenu's
history in CVS I see that it never used imenu-info-alist; it used
imenu--info-alist from day one. Imenu's functionality can be easily
explained without referring to imenu--info-alist, so I think I'll do
that.

It makes sense in this case; I was wondering why the variable was
mentioned is the manual as Imenu did not use it to interface with the
outside world.
