Not for class indices (and maybe that's not even possible at all,
in the general case).

But you can add a slot index to a slot (of a class that has a class
index) by adding something like

   :index :string-index

to the slot definition and re-evaluating the entire class definition
I usually just compile and load the file that contains the class
definitions.

See also the files test-index-1a.lisp and test-index-1b.lisp in
the test directory.
