Re: upper case in command and end of sentence

    @commands like @emph, @asis... do not change anything compared with 
    text.  A period after a lower-case letter leads to double spacing,
    after an upper case letter simple spacing.
    
Ok.

    For code like commands and @var followed by a period, there is always a 
    double spacing, whether the last letter is upper case or not.

Ok.  I'll fix @var in texinfo.tex to do that.

    One question remains: for period within a code like command, like
      @samp{some. Good}
    should there be a double space after the period?

Definitely not.  In code-like commands and environments, the programs
should never insert extra sentence spacing.

Thanks,
k
