suggest adding texinfo-mode-abbrev-table to texinfo.el?

[Philip Lijnzaad]

Dear all, 

on emacs 20.5, the texinfo mode does not have an abbrev-table, which seems
like an omission. If emacs 21.x does not have it either and you are willing
to consider adding it, here is the context diff of texinfo that adds the
abbrev-table. Kind regards,
                                                                      Philip
