Well, the cat bites its tail here. Because it is not recommended,
nobody is using it, and people avoid the invention of new use-cases to
not abuse the texinfo markup...
Our LilyPond PDF manuals contain almost 3000 pages in total (counting
only the English version) – having small paragraphs and the like would
be definitely useful.
