That doesn't work either: even if the file is editable,
the buffer is read-only.
It should be something like:
(lambda ()
(let ((Info-enable-edit buffer-read-only))
(Info-on-current-buffer)
(when Info-enable-edit
(Info-edit))))
Oops, I meant (let ((Info-enable-edit (not buffer-read-only)) ...)
Definitely not. `Info-edit' is not recommended to use according
to the docstring of `Info-enable-edit'. It is disabled by default.
That is a good default, because normally one is viewing an Info file via
`C-h i' (including `C-u C-h i'). But if one has explicitly visited a file
via `find-file' and friends, then The Full Power of Emacs Shall Be at Your
Fingertips. :-)
Your code overrides its default value.
Only temporarily.
