Exactly. The periphrastic future in go uses the form of the infinitive with to. The periphrastic future in will does not. Doesn't stop the version without the to from being an infinitive. I changed the example sentence to avoid using go in both the future marker and the base verb of the sentence.
Hmm. It's going to take me a little while to figure out what you're saying. In the meantime, I think my grammar primer distinguishes between the base and infinitive forms, that is, it does not allow that the base and infinitive are the same form. I think this is what my question stems from.
