Re: Bug#779885: info: Does not display a info-file from the start, if it

    * coreutils: (coreutils)coreutils invocation.   Multi-call program.

I do not have a program named "coreutils" on my system, despite the
documentation, and I installed coreutils-8.23 from original sources.
Maybe coreutils.texi should not contain this Info entry?

Not that that particular case has anything to do with the general
problem, of course.  I've been bothered with such cases off and on, but
I don't think there is any general solution.  It is a fact that manuals
often have the same name as their principal utility, and thus some level
of confusion seems inevitable to me.  I can imagine other matching
algorithms, but I suspect that any change here would simply cause
trouble rather than solve it.
