I have to be candid; I'm really not good with remembering things like this. If we did that, I'd try to remember, but at 62 I have learned enough about myself to know that I will forget. Sorry.

What about having a one-arg macro @package, so we can give a specific
definiton for HTML or TeX output if we whish some day… ? Also,
incidentally, this would make the Texinfo source more maintainable.
