You've encountered lexical ambiguity.  I didn't intend to suggest that 
emacs' display of the info page isn't modern.  My intent is to 
eventually put a RM tool on the interwebs that eclipses the official RM 
in its presentation and accompanying functionality.  It's just another 
thing that will make Ada more appealing to the uninitiated.  Small steps..
