not hard at all... we just need to figure out good names (suggestions
welcome).  i think i'd prefer an alist, but it's not a strong preference

yes, i agree.  i even had some code where i had variables for those
indices, but felt a bit overkill for things used in just one place.  but
using a plist/alist would give us what we need here.
