BTW, I should mention that I only bring this up because I think it could 
potentially be a little confusing to have "index" mean different things 
depending on context.  Searching for help with the keyword "index" at 
TiddlyWiki.com, kind of a pain in the caboose sifting out what is what in 
the search results.  Maybe such is life ...

Also:  Since I'm no fan of automagically numbered lists, I definitely don't 
have a personal stake in the naming of this feature.
