Consider this file, if you remove the @ignore block, texi2dvi does not
compile.  Same for \\WHAT.


\input texinfo  @c -*-texinfo-*-
@settitle x
@setfilename x.info

@ignore 
@macro refcommand{WHAT}
@cindex @code{\\\WHAT\}
@code{\WHAT\}, 
@end macro

The @refcommand{paper} block has been renamed.

@end ignore

Bla bla
@cindex \bla
@cindex @code{\blabla}
bla bla

@node Unified index
@appendix Unified index

@printindex cp

@bye

Not really.  We have a lot of commands in the @address@hidden
@code{\manual} manual and maybe you need newlines too :-)
