Good God, what on Earth for?  Why use @cindex for commands, when you
have @findex and @pindex (and @syncodeindex to put them all, each one
in the right typeface, in the same index, if you really need to)?

And why the macro? is it only to avoid typing the command name one
more time or am I missing something?
