Hi,

Ben's patch for -k looks like a welcome addition.  But when going to 
change the text for 'info --help' now, please seize the opportunity 
to split this text into smaller chunks, so it becomes easier for 
translators to keep it up to date.  While at it, please also put 
the --where option in its alphabetical place, at the end, on the man 
page too (it already is at the right place in the Info document).

Suggested chunks for splitting up the --help text:
  * Usage synopsis + doc string
  * Options ... --file
  * --help ... --output
  * --raw-escapes ... --show-options
  * a separate conditional --speech-friendly
  * --subnodes ... --where
  * "The first non-option argument..." paragraph
  * the examples

(I would provide a patch, but as I haven't signed any copyright 
assignment papers...)

Benno
