In the early parts of Emacs' texinfo manual, in summaries of several
commands, we see the name of the function listed along with what keys
invoke it. This is good:
--------
`C-a'
Move to the beginning of the line (`beginning-of-line').
---------
However in a few later parts,
---------
`C-\'
Enable or disable use of the selected input method.
---------
The function's name isn't mentioned until a varying number of
paragraphs down in the page.
Shouldn't this be standardized, hopefully with the function's name
right on the first line:
---------
`C-\' (`toggle-input-method')
Enable or disable use of the selected input method.
---------
The idea is we don't want to emphasize only memorizing keystrokes. [The
Specify Coding node of the manual has several instances of this
problem.]
