Autoconf has this example:
@node Specifying Target Triplets
@section Specifying target triplets
@cindex System type
@cindex Target triplet
@c This node used to be named Specifying Names. The @anchor allows old
@c links to still work.
@anchor{Specifying Names}
I'm not sure if putting the @anchor after the @node make a difference.
If the anchor takes the old name to the previous node, then we may want
to move the anchor to appear after the @node.
