but to me texinfo.fn looked like it is generated by code in
texinfo.tex
Certainly true. I thought we were talking about Unicode sorting here,
not the indexed Texinfo commands lacking @.
Anyway, the problem in this case is not so much the implementation but
that there is no user-level way to specify a sort key. I'm not happy at
the idea of making up a new command like @findexwithsortkey. However, I
guess we could do a new command used within the indexing commands, as in
@findex @sortkey{command} @@command
(Patrice, wdyt?)
For now, it remains on the TODO list ...
Best,
Karl
