Personally, I find most of the  s h o r t  info pages terrible whilst
the longer ones, such as the Bison or gcc pages, quite useful. If there
could be some arbitrary division between the two - for example, man
pages always consist of these X sections, whilst info pages are more
free format - they could live together.
