I agree this would be a nice enhancement. Thanks for the suggestion.

(I thought texinfo-mode in Emacs had support for something like this, but I don't see anything now. Hmm.)

Suppose all my @node commands are followed by a section/chapter heading. Mostly, the node name and the heading will be the same. Some of them will not. If I use @ref{nodename} rather than using the three-argument form of cross-reference I will get in the DVI file a reference to a section entitled [nodename].

To ensure that the manual is high-quality, the references should tie up, and checking for this manually is very time-consuming. I wish the computer was able to help me do it - one way for this to happen is for makeinfo to detect these mistakes and issue a warning message.

I'm suggesting the use of makeinfo for this to avoid spurious warnings about constructs like this:

@node comb, delta, cdc, Invoking CSSC Programs
@section @code{comb}
