If we are after an Emacs-only solution, then how about teaching Emacs
to detect the uses of "*note" that don't need to be converted to
"see", but can instead be converted to nothing?  It's just a matter of
the grammar and syntax of the surrounding text, right?

As an alternative, how about customizing Info-hide-note-references to
the value 'hide', perhaps it gives better results than the default t?
