Hi Gavin,

That hook does not work quite the way I would like. Since you only test
if txiomitrefpg is ever set, there is little discretion possible. What I
would like is the ability to selectively include (or exclude) page
refs. E.g. define

\def\pagelessref#1{\txiomitrefpgtrue\ref{#1}}
\def\pagefulref#1{\txiomitrefpgfalse\ref{#1}}

and intermingle their use.

In texinfo.tex, rather than

\expandafter\ifx\csname SETtxiomitxrefpg\endcsname\relax

have

\iftxiomitrefpg
