Well, I don't see any serious shortcomings, but I found a minor problem:
"texi2any --info" still use the convention of backtick ` and straight
single quote ' to emulate curly quotes “ ” or ‘ ’.  It also use other
ASCII kludge such as => instead of ⇒.  Emacs itself support Unicode
several years ago, what about replacing these characters?  At least add
a switch to texi2any.

(Sorry for the off-topic.)
