The problem is that there's no way to write guillemets in Texinfo.  '«'
happens to work in the Info version, but it doesn't work in the printed

Dunno.  Does it make any difference?

Well, one problem is that I don't think the function works in XEmacs
(the arguments supplied to balloon help functions are slightly
different).
