I don't quite agree.  Info pages have a real, interactive index [1] --
this is really the killer feature that nearly all other documentation
systems lack.

`i <term>' usually takes me to correct spot instantly -- it's much
faster and more convenient than scrolling through huge man-pages.

If `i' fails, then there's the regexp search `s', a feature also missing
in many other formats.

[1] Not a fake, auto-generated one like Microsoft Windows help, or _no_
index at all like man-pages, or HTML documentation.
