This is perhaps more of a TeX question, and I'll take it to
comp.text.tex next. But I encountered a problem when using \index in
ConTeXt.

I had my doc formatted exactly the way I wanted. But after I added
\index entries throughout, I found that the line-breaking of some
paragraphs had changed. The text became "looser", not packing quite as
densely. Small changes, but significant to my layout.

Experimentation showed that substituting "\strut" for "\index{...}" had
the same effect. These should be invisible, and I don't see anything
added, but the line-breaking is changed.

I'm reading Eijkhout's chapter on "Line Breaking" in "TeX by Topic" but
am not sure how to interpret it. Have I introduced "glue preceded by a
nondiscardable item"? Would that be less breakable than the simple space
that was there before?
