A digression: My personal view is that this is bad usage of Texinfo.
Instead of saying

   This function looks up the target in @ref{Default Coding Systems,
   file-coding-system-alist}

which looks awkward in Info and downright incomprehensible in the
printed copy, it is much better to say

   This function looks up the target in
   @code{file-coding-system-alist} (@pxref{Default Coding Systems,
   file-coding-system-alist})
