[Geiser-users] Possible key binding optimization

Does C-c C-d C-i (bound to `geiser-doc-look-up-manual') have some
extra capability beyond C-h S (bound to `info-lookup-symbol')?  My
use of both of them has me liking features of each:

    C-h S:
        - Standard key binding; works across many languages
        - Keeps point unchanged, while opening the manual
          in a separate window, even for multiple look-ups.
        - Appears to locate the definition more precisely

    C-c C-d C-i:
        - Looks up the identifier that point is on immediately
          without prompting (which requires an additional
          keystroke to accept the default identifier)

Is it possible (or desirable) to have C-c C-d C-i be a wrapper
that calls `info-lookup-symbol' and passes it the identifier
that is "around" point?  For example,

   (info-lookup-symbol "define" 'scheme-mode)

Then "define" could be looked up with C-c C-d i or
C-h S-h RET.  And the maintenance of
`geiser-doc-look-up-manual' could be greatly reduced or
eliminated.
