+       * doc/texinfo.tex (\onepageout): call new macro
+       \commonheadfootline to make the headline/footline vboxes,
+       which in turn calls \texinfochars.
+       (\texinfochars): new macro; should reset all definitions done by
+       @tex, but have skipped some for now out of laziness, since no
+       one has noticed.
+       (\expandablevalue): change formatting; note that _ in
+       an @value string fails in non-typewriter output,
+       and has been for a long time.
+       (\activetilde, \activehat, \activeless, \activegtr): factor
+       out the normal Texinfo definitions, now also used in \texinfochars.
+       
+       All this due to a bug report from Charlie Zender where ' in the
+       @settitle caused failures when a page break occurred inside @tex,
