Doing residential tech support, I will never forget the man who referred 
to the desktop background picture as "the screen saver." Or the lady, 
may she rest in peace, whose term for all forms of email was "Outlook 
Express."

I agree, and appreciate the effort you put into writing that.

I second Jean Abou Samra's motion for expanding the index if it seems 
good to so so.

Lilypond.org is hosted on a Google service, I believe? Are there ways to 
see what search terms people use to arrive at given documentation resources?

If there are recognizable patterns, like there's this one word people 
follow over and over again to a manual page mostly using unlike terms, 
maybe that could be seen as a call to add an index entry.
