Thanks so much for implementing this! I can get rid of the hacks I had and make use of it in other docs.
I did use this new version to generate Maxima's manual in pdf. The index entries and subentries look fine for the most part, but there are a few oddities. I don't know if I messed up or if it's a bug in texinfo. When I isolate the problem, I'll let you know. But in general it looks fantastic! And much better than the hack I was using!
