Re: correct usage of @funindex and friends

[Trevor Daniels]

Werner, Patrick

Originally I opposed the @funindex foo form as being both redundant and 
misleading,
but was out-voted (3 to 1).  But on thinking about it again I have changed 
my mind, for
the following reason.

The description of the contents of the Function index states that it "lists 
all the LilyPond
commands and keywords".  \foo is a command and foo is a keyword, so I am now 
of
the view that both should appear in the function index.
