ok.

Yes, but I'd rather not have @w{} everywhere in our code, partly due
to the "semantic vs. ouput commands" thing, but mostly due to the
annoyance+maintenance issue.  I'm interested in a general "treat all
@code{} as if it were wrapped in a @w{}" solution.

It seems like we're still waiting for a stable release of texinfo (not
that we can really complain about time between stable releases) before
being able to really clean up a lot of our doc generation stuff.
