However, to get the right links, I had to create new anchors so that when referring to a value of expintrep, such as 'gamma_incomplete, the link would point to the description of the value instead of the gamma_incomplete function. This looks good in html and pdf, but not so good in info. You get text like: "set to *note ‘gamma_incomplete’: expintrep-gamma-incomplete.:" where expintrep-gamma-incomplete is the anchor name.

Hmm, I don't seem to be seeing that. I am working with Texinfo 7.0.3
on Linux. I have updated to commit 2a70d7a; the most recent commit in
doc/info/ is ef6634. Special.texi (after processing Special.texi.m4)
says stuff like

For @mref{expintrep} set to @mxref{expintrep-expintegral-e1, expintegral_e1}:

and the corresponding output in maxima.info-1 is

     For ‘expintrep’ set to ‘expintegral_e1’:

Are you working with a different version of Texinfo or a different commit?
