0.1.3.2. Automatic indexing of your code

An attempt is made to index all the "interesting things" in the code parts of your program. The success of this enterprise depends on the degree to which the language you are using is supported.

In a paper manifestation, you'll get nice neat indexes, like we're used to. In an on-line manifestation, you would like to use the information to "point and jump" (our Info-based implementation does this, perhaps clumsily).

APRIL91: See section See multiple-indexes for latest thoughts about indexing. Also, I've put some comment about free-text retrieval in section See free-text-index.
