Subject: #@ as name of node

My reading of the documentation for texinfo led me to believe that
it is okay for nonliterals to be the names of nodes. In case the
nonliteral is a comma, I see that there is a problem caused by @node ,,,,Top .
However, it seems to me that I ought to be able to have #@ as the name of
a node. In order to have such a node, however, I can't type the name in as
#@ because @ does not represent itself as an ascii character. Instead, I have
to type #@@ . However, the following code shows that this doesn't work.
There is no problem creating the info file, but when I use the menu to select
the node @#, I am told there is no such node (nor is there a node named #@@).
When I had this item as part of a larger menu, I had no difficulty accessing
the other items on the menu, but I could not access this one even when it
was first on the list. I assume I will have to live with this, but can someone
explain what is wrong here ?

Please reply to me directly. I am not yet on this mailing list.
