BTW one other problem I noticed with cross-references: stuff like *Note Some
long name that couldn't fit on the previous page:: doesn't work; the
cross-references don't span lines so pressing enter on any of the words in
the second line doesn't make anything happen.

Admittedly info has more trouble than man in being simple, straightforward
and intuitive, but from a user standpoint it appears nobody even tried to
fix that :/ I hear people bitching about info all the time.
