Rationale: I find myself often looking for properties such as :align-to in the elisp manual, but they are not indexed. This means that I have to look instead for them manually instead, which takes more time. Perhaps there is some conflict of interest between having a usable index inside Emacs and the length of the printed manual. One way to side-step that would be to put them in the index only in the info version of the manual, while excluding them from the print version. I don't know if texinfo supports this. If we decide to go ahead with this wishlist request, we would only need to add a few properties as examples. We could then close this bug add the rest in over time. Perhaps some properties are more important to add than others, and perhaps others still would not even make sense adding.
