But the doc for `Info-history' says nothing about FILENAME, NODENAME, and BUFFERPOS. Instead, those are described in `Info-find-emacs-command-nodes'. Something is backwards here, and/or missing. Why refer to "the format used in the variable `Info-history' if consulting that variable tells you less about the format that what you are told before sending you there? Also, the language in the last sentence of the doc string for `Info-find-emacs-command-nodes' is not so good. I'm guessing that this might be what is really meant: ", where BUFFERPOS is the line number of the first element of the returned list (which is treated specially in `Info-goto-emacs-command-node'), and 0 for the other elements of the list." But why the parenthetical remark, and what it really means, I have no idea.

It is a hint for why BUFFERPOS is non-zero only in that first element. That hint is only important to someone who wants to understand how the code works.

But the doc for `Info-history' says nothing about FILENAME, NODENAME, and BUFFERPOS. Instead, those are described in `Info-find-emacs-command-nodes'. Something is backwards here, and/or missing. Why refer to "the format used in the variable `Info-history' if consulting that variable tells you less about the format that what you are told before sending you there? Also, the language in the last sentence of the doc string for `Info-find-emacs-command-nodes' is not so good. I'm guessing that this might be what is really meant: ", where BUFFERPOS is the line number of the first element of the returned list (which is treated specially in `Info-goto-emacs-command-node'), and 0 for the other elements of the list." But why the parenthetical remark, and what it really means, I have no idea.
