It needs to be inserted here and there!  For instance,
texinfo-format-buffer stops when formatting large texi files.
What a user can do without modifying texinfmt.el is only to bind
`undo-outer-limit' to a large value.  Actually, I needed to bind
it to (eval '(lsh -1 -1))' in order to make some info files.
You will receive many complaints in the near future.  Sigh.
