Perhaps there is a case it is necessary to use `imenu--index-alist': to
force a rescan of the imenu.

For example, the Semantic toolkit set `imenu--index-alist' to nil to
force a rebuild of the imenu when the user customized an option that
change how the imenu will be organized (item sorted and/or grouped in
a different way).

Is there another "standard" method to force a rescan of the imenu
without using `imenu--index-alist'?
