Does anyone use the manual index interface (enable/disable class  
indexing, add-class-slot-index, etc) for anything other than derived  
indices?
I'm thinking of removing this interface and instead require a re- 
evaluation of the defclass form for any changes to indexing, etc.  It  
dramatically cuts down on the API complexity and test cases I have to  
support and further, in the multi-store world, it's simpler to have  
the class definition be a golden reference.  Especially since there is  
now a different slot definition metaclass for indexed slots.
Comments appreciated, or forever hold your peace.  :)
