[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

The next Texinfo release will have an @ktable keyword just like
@ftable and @vtable.
This patch to texinfo.el adds support for that in Texinfo-mode.

Neat! I think there might have been a problem with this attachment though :/ I only see this:

    texinfo.el.patch
    
    Write file: /Applications/Emacs25.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/textmodes/

Btw, Texinfo still doesn't have @ktable, AFAICT, 4 years later.

This is true, we took the feature out because the person proposing it 
wasn't going to use it, so it wasn't clear that the feature would be 
useful.

Thanks.  I assume that means that we should not add support for it to
Emacs either, and I'm therefore closing this bug.

Please reply back if this conclusion is incorrect.
