I've changed my mind.  Using '.' to denote an unused index allows Leo
to reuse no-longer-used indices.  In the long run, this will
significantly reduce the number of gnx's in the leo-editor-data line.
And it will keep the indices as short (and inconspicuous) as possible.

There can never be a problem with reusing indices, because they have
significance only within the external file itself.
