Use of tt() formatting in yodl doc sources

When translating yodl to info, the tt() text style comes out like this:
`teletype'
That means that if the yodl source looks like:
with the SUBJECT `tt(subscribe) var(<e-mail-address>)'
then it displays in info as:
with the SUBJECT ``subscribe' <E-MAIL-ADDRESS>'
which is both misleading and strange-looking. It gets even worse when you
get to things like:
`for ((' [EXPR1] `;' [EXPR2] `;' [EXPR3] `)) do' LIST `done'
There's no perfect solution for this; the best would probably be for tt()
text to simply be inserted plain, without styling, for info purposes. That
in turn probably means fooling with what goes into zsh.texi, using @ifinfo;
I'm not even sure it's possible.
