There's no need to have prev/next/up pointers on the @node line, I
don't think we use them elsewhere.

Hmm. A reference such as "in node @code{Sequences}" is not a Texinfo
reference, it won't produce a link that can be followed in an Info
reader. If we want this stuff to be part of the manual, we could use
conditionals, so that we get a usual xref in the manual, and text like
above in the man pages.

Alternatively, we could keep these as separate files, not included in
the manual; then the form you used would be fine.

You want 2 or 3 dashes in a row here.

OK with those changes.

Thanks.
