  Hi,

The "automatic symbol index cache" entry in the docs is missing entries in the
concept and command indices.  Add them.

OK for trunk?

Thanks,

You have here 4 index entries that all begin with the same string and
all point to places very close to one another in the manual (in the
printed version, they will all point to the same page number).  This
is not useful, so I suggest just two index entries:

  @kindex set index-cache
  @kindex show index-cache

Thanks.
