Well, can you please give me a hint how to use it? I tried to view the
generated doc/gnulib.info file like this:
$ emacs doc/gnulib.info
M-x info
but that opens up a different buffer, whereas I wanted to change the
gnulib.info buffer from fundamental-mode to info-mode.

I've been working on changing that for 12 years. UTF-8 locales are
the majority of locales on Linux systems for ca. 7 years now. Here
the use of a non-ASCII character (the no-break space) will be a
significant benefit for readability of the .texi files and for
interoperability with other programs. It's time to use it.
