Re: Colon in index items

I see rms's point that changing the sources is bad,
and I see Werner's point that the warning is annoying,
and I see Eli's point that any translation to the word colon will be
confusing for users in one way or another.

So how about if I simply remove the warning about the : in index entries?
Then we can go back to the status quo. 

The problem is not new, it has existed ever since Info format was
invented.  It's only coming up now because of that warning.  I agree
with rms that it doesn't make much difference whether : is replaced by
`colon' or just renders the entry nonfunctional.

So let's remove the warning, change the Texinfo sources back to using :
as they should, and give ourselves some time to work on the real solution.

Wdyt?

Thanks,
karl
