Gotcha. Yeah, this technique can be used to replace any use case for explicitly managed indexes. And, for that reason, I think we should just get rid of them now.
Agreed.
Once Firefox ships a beta for 4.0 (likely late this week or early next) we'll have something in the wild. Nightlies currently have it (although we haven't been pushing it much).As for whether we should have a feature to compute index keys via a function: I think we should put it on it on the back burner for now, but use your proposal as the starting when we re-examine it. I'd like to do this after there's a working implementation in the wild that developers can play with so we can address the biggest pain points--rather than just going on our intuition. If this does get punted past v1, I'd definitely like to see it addressed in v2 though.
