This was considered as well. The problem with this is that you'd like
the Info reader to display `colon' as `:', otherwise it would confuse
users, I think. (They type "i foo::bar RET", but the echo area says
"Found FOOcoloncolonBAR in Class Index".) This complicates the display
routines of the reader.
Also, we will need to invent a ``translation'' like that for every
special character we now disallow in menus and indices.
