I still think that such a local variable would be useful for Emacs,
but FYI:

I updated info+.el without regard to checking whether Info uses
curly or straight quote-wrapping for this.  It's not so clean as
searching only for the format that is actually used, but it seems
to be fine to just search for both.  Dumb, but it works OK.
