An index is just a giant menu, as far as the Info readers are
concerned. So they behave as they do with menus; they don't have any
special treatment for indices.

What's wrong with `]' and `[' in the stand-alone Info when you are in
an index?

I don't think you can do that in any way except by looking at the
node's name. And that's not very reliable, although in many cases it
could do the job.
