I think this is a terminology problem; most of the time when someone
says `write an info file', they really _mean_ `write a texinfo file'.
Because info files are never written in any other way, people often
seem to treat the terms as interchangeable.

I know that originally (in the days of the original emacs) there
actually were info files, but texinfo hadn't been invented yet; how did
people write info files then (by hand?!)?
