Hi Ludovic,
Obviously, it'd be nicer if we could have a C function index and a
Scheme function index,
In general, I'm a believer in "one index". However, if the functions
have the same names in both languages, I don't know how they'd be
distinguished in this case.
but there doesn't seem to be any way to do it currently.
The only way I can think of at present is to abuse @deftp or @defvr and
then label the type/variable index as the Scheme (whichever) index in
the @address@hidden commands. But maybe you are already using them
too?
It would probably would not be terribly difficult to implement commands
to change the hardwired index used, as in
@deffnindex xx
@deftpindex xx
@defvrindex xx
where xx is any index name (built-in or user-defined), and the command
takes effect until the next such @def...index. But it seems rather a
complication in an already-too-complicated area.
Can you show me the actual manual? Maybe there's a simpler way.
