Public bug reported:

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.texi:564: bad syntax for @value
-----

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.
