Details:

Suppose all my @node commands are followed by a section/chapter heading. 
Mostly, the node name and the heading will be the same.  Some of them will
not.  If I use @ref{nodename} rather than using the three-argument form of
cross-reference I will get in the DVI file a reference to a section entitled
[nodename].  



To ensure that the manual is high-quality, the references should tie up, and
checking for this manually is very time-consuming.  I wish the computer was
able to help me do  it - one way for this to happen is for makeinfo to detect
these mistakes and issue a warning message.



I'm suggesting the use of makeinfo for this to avoid spurious warnings about
constructs like this:



@node comb, delta, cdc, Invoking CSSC Programs

@section @code{comb}
