Yep, the doc is out of date. Luckily I had a series updating it
rotting in my local tree.
Patch 5 gives --no-index its own prominent mention in the DESCRIPTION
section. I suspect that is a bad idea --- too much to learn for new
users --- and that the description should go under OPTIONS, but I ran
out of time.
Maybe patches 1-4 can help?
