Yes, Aharon told me separately. I see nothing to do at present. There
are four index entries in the gawk manual which match `sub':
* sub function <1>: String Functions.
* sub function: Using Constant Regexps.
* sub function, arguments of: String Functions.
* sub function, escape processing: Gory Details.
I see no way, at present, for any info program to know which one to
prefer.
What we need is a way to mark an index entry as the "defining" one.
Then the readers could prefer that one when there is a match.
There are lots of other index improvements needed as well.
Unfortunately I have no ETA at present for implementing them.
If someone else wants to make it happen ...
Thanks,
