(The correct syntax is "@findex foo" not "@findex{foo} but this is not the
main point.)

This was a deliberate change to make index commands terminate paragraphs.
This was intended for input like the following:

@table @asis
@cindex Points (dimension)
@item pt
point (72.27pt = 1in)
@cindex Picas
@item pc
pica (1pc = 12pt)
@cindex Big points
@item bp
big point (72bp = 1in)
@cindex Inches
@item in
inch
@end table

so that the @?index command could precede the @item line they
referred to without being part of the preceding paragraph, and without
the need for an extra blank line in the Texinfo source or Info output.

Does this change cause a problem?
