Something I had forgotten about is the idea to use a Tag to convey that
there are no indices and that the previous scheme used for finding
indices should not be followed.

It could be something like (with 'Ref: ^H' prepended if needed)
Index: _^?0
or any other impossible or improbable value for an index name as
argument.

I do not like that idea than much as it uses the Tag table in a way that
is not consistent with other uses, but I do not see any other obvious
way that reuses the existing Info data but not the locale variables.

Note that this may be moreeasily dropped if an other change I proposed
is accepted, that Info readers only consider as index a menu with index
markup.
