Sorry for the delay, I got side-tracked with many other things.

I am sure I can get it to work just fine without a need for that.
It just turns out that I haven't done so yet, because I only used the
ox-texinfo+ style in manuals that use that style exclusively.  Now
that you have signaled that there is a good change that this would be
included in Org, putting in the work to use both styles in parallel is
actually justified.

But it likely will be a few weeks until I get to work because I looked
at the current implementation again and decided that it would be better
to start over and do the work using org-element instead of at the latest
possible moment when strings are being concatenated as ox-texinfo+
currently does.

I haven't started working on the org-element based implementation yet,
but I expect that won't actually need any new function definitions so,
the question is moot anyway.  (But just in case: I agree.)
