But again, > I don't really have much of opinion on that. But "info FOO" does not mean "show me the file FOO", it means "show me the manual whose DIR entry is FOO". (Although the stand-alone Info reader falls back to the file interpretation if it doesn't find FOO in the DIR menu.) And the Info system doesn't really support more than one manual for the same tool anyway. So I think, unlike the man pages, the Info manual should not be renamed.
