Hi Zack,

Nice to hear from you again :).

    This happens, for instance, in the GNU CPP manual's index of
    directives, where all the entries begin with '#'.

Hmm, I think it would be actually be good to fix the cpp manual to omit
the leading # so the alphabetization could have a better effect.  As the
Autoconf and Texinfo and probably other manuals do.

Of course it would even better to make texinfo support ignoring an
initial prefix on the index entry, so the index could look like

D
#define
...

U
#undef

Ideas are cheap, as usual ...

Anyway, thanks much for the patch.
