I don´t care much about the old IndexCard.
I know that it appears in the FriCAS book as an example, but I am not so
happy that it entered the FriCAS library by this name. As Tim said it
was meant to be a toy domain. If you now turn it in to a more important
domain to extract information about the library (which I am in favour
of) maybe it would be time to think about a better name. I cannot think
of something good at the moment, but IndesCard is definitely to
non-telling for my taste if that domain is supposed to provide information
about other FriCAS internals.
Just my 2 cents.

I tried to provide replacement IndexCard using data from
BrowserInformation. My current version misses important parts,
but I think that I can provide good replacement.
However, current IndexCard has:
coerce : String -> %
++ coerce(s) converts \spad{s} into an \spad{IndexCard}. Warning: if
++ \spad{s} is not of the right format then an error will occur when
using
++ it.
This signature exposes internal representation and is incompatible
with replacement. But AFAICS it is also essentially useless:
argument string must be in database format, otherwise it would
not work. So I think that we should remove this signature.
Opinions?
