I'm not all that crazy about the choice of "index" as the keyword to handle 
that.

To me, index means index to an item in a data tiddler.

Now index means *that* or *this*.  When somebody is referring to index, in 
what context?  As in data tiddlers, or as in numerically identifiying 
<$list> items in a sequence?

Overloading the word index.  That annoys the daylights out of me.
