Re: Support find-tag in Info-mode

      Since contractions are rare on word boundaries
    in English, then what about treating ' as part of the same word only
    when both its adjacent characters have word syntax?

This is not completely correct; there are contractions such as "mens'
wear".  However, it could be that this change would result in correct
behavior more of the time than now.  That could be enough to make such
a change.

But that is not a simple change.  There is no syntax code which does
that.

We could think about this after the release.
