That one has been resolved by squashing the updated log message in,
I think, so we should be able to merge it down.

Yup, I forgot about that one.  Thanks.

By definition, churn is useless.  Useful ones are refactoring ;-).

And when you do want to operate on _the_ single in-core instance,
not having to say &the_index in the argument and use $foo_cache()
function does *not* become a source of "bugs".  It just saves
typing, and turning it to $foo_index(&the_index,...) does *not* make
it less error prone.

The interdiff of the topic looked alright.  Thanks.
