	Inconsistency in the way of presenting the filename in info buffers.
Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2012 00:21:24 +0100

Hi,

If I open an info manual with `C-u C-h i <path-to-info-file> <RET>',
the modeline of the *info* buffer shows the info file name including
also its ".info" extension.  E.g., if I open the emacs manual that
way, I see `*info* (emacs.info) Top' in the modeline.  But when I open
that same manual via `C-h r' or `C-h i m emacs RET', the ".info" part
is omitted.

I don't see the point of this inconsistency.

Unless I'm missing something, TRT here would be to always omit the
".info" part, since I guess it is always the same.  But in any case,
the way of showing the filename in the modeline should not depend on
the way of opening the info file.
