Re: Documentation for "Clone Buffers" (corrected version)

    If we rely on humans to do any significant part of the job, why not
    ask them to do it all the way?  Let's have a new Texinfo command that
    will add its argument to a global index used to do searches in all the
    manuals.  For example, the following directive

              @gindex strcpy

    will produce something that install-info could copy to the
    system-wide database I mentioned above.

This has two major disadvantages.

1. It fails to catagorize the names.  I don't want to have command
   names mixed up with C functions and Perl functions and Lisp
   functions and file formats.

2. It requires changes in texinfo itself.  I am seeking a
   solution that does not require any changes in makeinfo
   or install-info.
