But this looks awkward in Info with Info-hide-note-references equal t:
This function looks up the target in file-coding-system-alist
(see file-coding-system-alist).
whereas the first variant is better:
This function looks up the target in file-coding-system-alist.
So the variant that will look equally good in Info with
Info-hide-note-references equal to t or nil and in the printed copy
has yet to be found.
