Then I'm glad I mentioned this.

That's true, but how else can Emacs possibly know which manual(s)
is/are relevant to a random symbol or major mode? Eventually, you
must have some DB of data that connects these dots, and info-look.el
provides the infrastructure to maintain and extend such a DB. Right?
Or am I missing something?
