We could use a trick in the Info browser that if an index entry starts with
a colon, then interpret it as part of index entry, or if there is two colons
in a row then interpret the first one as part of the entry.  For example,

* :action (button property):    Button Properties.   (line  12)

where everything up to the last colon is the info entry.
