Ah, thanks for explaining.
It also explains why
@itemize @code
did not have the desired effect, whereas
@table @code
is documented.

Thanks, I'll use that, instead of @w{}.

Yes, please. Since "make" only produces the info-formatted output by default,
without the warning, developers won't realize their mistake until the time
they run "make distcheck" (since "make distcheck" creates the dvi/ps/pdf
formatted documentation). It is better to get the developers' attention
already during "make".
