New description:

 For any elliptic curve over QQ of rank >= 2 the heegner_index command must
 always give +Infinity as output.   So the following 1 at the end is just
 wrong.

 {{{
 sage: E = EllipticCurve('389a')
 sage: D = E.heegner_discriminants_list(1)[0]
 sage: D
 -7
 sage: E.heegner_index(D)
 1
 }}}
