Bug Description
Hello,
documentation generation fails with texinfo 5.1. texinfo seems to have stopped supporting colons in variable names (@set <-> @value), causing errors like this one:
-----
doc/enfuse.
-----
According to texinfo 5.1 documentation basically the only thing guaranteed to work are alpha-numericals:
Subsequent characters, if any, may not be whitespace, ‘@’, braces, angle brackets, or any of ‘~`^+|’; other characters, such as ‘%’, may work. However, it is best to use only letters and numerals in a flag name, not ‘-’ or ‘_’ or others—they will work in some contexts, but not all, due to limitations in TeX.

If you pull from the repo, you'll get pseudo-namespace free documentation,
for I dropped all prefixes "CFG::" and "src::". Maybe, crown-of-stupidity
Texinfo-5.x won't barf on this one.
OTOH, I'd rather replace Texinfo with Hevea than removing the dashes from state-space- unconverged- color' (and
(Texinfo-)variable names like `visualize-
another 97 like this one).
