Is there a way to twiddle the .emacs file to get, say, ctrl-f1 to look up
the word under the point in the info files? i.e., so if the cursor is on
printf, it finds there's a node printf, in the libc .inf files.

I checked the emacs FAQ but couldn't find anything referring to
contect-sensitive or syntax help. I also looked through the command lists
under emacs and cc-mode, nothing there, there are some info-this-that
commands for elisp functions, but none for c, c++ etc functions, nor any
obvious way to feed it the word under the point...
