All I ask for is that the actual Info code takes into account a separate variable for user's private customizations, *at access time*. The variable need not be called Info-default-directory-list if you think that name is tainted. Well. Modifying Info-directory-list seems to be working nicely. All I'm asking for is a user-specific version of that variable that is untouched by auto-loads and that can be customized at will. Again, the variables would both be considered at access-time, *not* when info.el is loaded. No weird startup problems there. Yes, the users really need and ask for such a thing.
