a humble comment: since it seems that some support for multilevel
indexing is planned, wouldn't it be better to leave the stuff there,
only disable it?
Won't the new code look similarily to the old one?

Like this:
>  /* Used to separate primary and secondary entries in an index */
> -#define INDEX_SEP ", "
> +#define INDEX_SEP "This string will never appear."  /* was: ", " */

It also can be viewed as "the more careful attitude".

Sorry if this idea is silly, :-)
