The name of the section sounds too long to me. How about this
instead:
* Leading Arguments:: Leading arguments to commands
> +@node Command leading args
> +@section Automatically prepend arguments to commands and aliases
Likewise here. Also, the section name should have its words
capitalized.

"type", not "do". Also, please use @kbd instead of @code for commands
the user is supposed to type.
> +arguments typed explicitely on the command line.
^^^^^^^^^^^
"explicitly"
Finally, please refill the text so that each line is shorter than 79
columns, otherwise it's hard to read the Texinfo source.
Thanks.
