Multi-lingual example using page styles and page number field formatting

The more I think about this, the more difficult it seems to use a page number
field format as the basis for an index entry. A field can be inserted multiple
times, in each case with a different format, on a single page. Which field (and
corresponding format) should take precedence? Refer attached.

Imagining a situation where this seems valid is less important, because
ultimately if a user can do something, then it is likely the corresponding use
case will occur at some point. One example however that comes to mind is
multi-lingual documents, where page numbers are required to be set in two or
more languages.
