I just been bringing up g++ and ran into a minor problen with its
documentation.  An `@end example' line in the file is followed by a
several blanks.  When one runs texinfo-format-buffer, it barfs with

   @end example               J is not handled by texinfo

Since this produces an error message, I guess it's not a bug, but it
sure is an unhappy feature...

Perhaps something could be done about it in a future release?  I'd
offer to do it myself if my elisp were up to it.
