The behavior of `l' was changed.  Whether this change is a solution of
the problem or part thereof, is open to dispute ;-).  The GNU
maintainer thinks the new behavior goes a long way towards solving the
problem.  I dare to disagree; but then I wasn't particularly mad about
the previous way this feature worked, either.  Your mileage may vary;
give it a try and see for yourself.

(Btw, the official release of Texinfo 3.12 has a few bugs in how `l'
works, which are corrected in the DJGPP port, so if you decide to try
this out, use the DJGPP sources, even if you do that on Unix.)
