We can insert the equivalent of "see" in the document's language
(there's a TODO item for that), but to do it correctly we need to know
the language of the manual.  Up until now, makeinfo didn't leave any
trace of the @documentlanguage directive in the Info file it produces,
so Emacs couldn't DTRT there.  AFAIU the development version of
Texinfo has a change to propagate @documentlanguage into the Info
file, so now the TODO item is doable as soon as the new version of
Texinfo is released.

Not sure I understand this.  Could you please provide the details
about the search for functions in Calc?
