 | Hi Aubrey,
 | 
 |     If a method fixes some readers and does no harm to the others,
 |     then it is worth doing.
 | 
 | I see your point, but I don't feel I can change the info output at
 | all for the upcoming release (next week, I hope).

My patch does not require any change in format.  With this change,
Emacs info-mode correctly indexes colon-containing names in info files
as they are now.  Does someone on address@hidden maintain
"info.el" or should I send this to address@hidden
