But isn't the purposes of this main method really just so that one can
work on debugging IndexClient without having to implement a full
program which uses IndexClient, and so that one has near-direct
control of IndexClient itself when debugging rather than having to
work with IndexClient through another program which may have bugs of
its own (which would make debugging IndexClient more difficult)?
