 Your own comments are reinforcing the need to improve the current help
documents for the INDEX function in Calc.

Well, I still read the same as before. It says "ReferenceList|Array
DataSource", meaning that the *DataSource* can be either a *reference* (simple
formula) or an *array* (array formula).

So, again, INDEX can be used in a simple formula or in an array formula.

IMHO, the function itself is already defined and it seems to be working as
defined, so I see this as a documentation problem in Calc.

Perhaps the Status of this bug report should be changed and some QA group
should be cc'd.
