Re: annoying `note' warnings

    Warnings are either useful or not.

It is possible for warnings to be useful for most documents, but not
all.  In that case, a document-level way of turning off the warning is
not unreasonable, seems to me.  In the case at hand, a document about
music, the word "note" is obviously special and can't be changed.
Some bogus cross-references in Info may be unavoidable.

Such generality would be difficult to implement.  I would prefer to
create a command @nwstrong.  In practice, @strong{note} is by far the
most common complaint about a warning (ever since it was created).

(Unless someone wants to take this opportunity to actually implement
some convention for arbitrary cross-references in Info ...)
