Yes, but this isn't what happens for me. Instead, I get a vertical split and
a new window with filetype=info. Is this not what happens for you?
Its nice behavior, but as I explain above its not what happens with the
underlying ':execute "r!info --subnodes --output - gcc"' command. I'm
curious to understand why.
