dot in node not accepted in Info in menu entry

[Patrice Dumas]

Hello,

It seems to me that a construct like

@menu
* generate. w::
@end menu

which leads to, in Info

* generate. w::

should be followed as the `generate. w' node.  Currently it doesn't
work.  It may also be that, to be consistent with cases like

@menu
* label: generate. w::
@end menu

where the node name is `generate', the node searched for in the case
above is also `generate'.  If this is so, it should certainly be clearer
in the manual, either in the part about menus, or at least in the Info
format specification part of the manual (I could propose a documentation
patch, in case this is the issue).

I attach a test case.
