AFAIK, there is no clever way to read a node reference which will
always be able to decide whether a colon is or isn't a part of a node
name. Consider the following:
*Note Foobar is described in: Foo.
and
*Note Foo: and Bar: description::.
How in the world can an Info reader decide that Foo: and Bar: are
single tokens whereas in: is not?
