Follow-up Comment #1, bug #45912 (project texinfo):

the enhancement you propose is an enhancement, not a regression. it seems a
nontrivial and confusing idea imho. certainly making up new cmdline syntax is
not at all desirable.

it is true that arnold and i did not implement the actual texindex -o in the
new awk texindex, because as far as i knew/know it had been used exactly zero
times in all of texinfo's long history, and it had no useful purpose we could
think of, either.  it wouldn't help you with your .fl[s] woes anyway.
