I am using \index{} to populate \placeindex (an index) with items.

\index{presidents+Lincoln, Abraham; Lincoln, Abraham}

The result is two appearances in the index:

L
Lincoln, Abraham

P
presidents
     Lincoln, Abraham

Is there some syntax for making this possible, without calling \index{} 
multiple times?
splitting on + is already tricky (i just send Alan a patch that deals 
with a mix of text and math that has + in it)


it is no big deal top write this but just using a ; would for sure 
issues with existing indices


anyway, apart from maybe some typing it is not more efficient to combine
