You have added mention of supressing warnings to the node that is indexed by `defvar', which responds to the report. (And hopefully you will also have added there a link to the more complete coverage of compiler warnings.) > > Looking in the index for `warning' is not the only > > reasonable way to use an index for this - see above. >=20 > Feel free to suggest other topics, but "defvar" is > definitely not one of them. You just got through admitting that it is one of them. You corrected, you say, the node that index-entry `defvar' points to, by adding info there about suppressing warnings (and presumably linking to the node that deals more generally with such warnings and their suppression).
