I grepped the sources and saw the same: I just wanted to make sure
that nobody had any plans on it. If so, speak now, for I am planning on

pg_group would be more applicable than indkey in pg_index.

I actually use emacs and glimpse, but not together. I won't bother to
ask if emacs has a glimpse-mode: it's emacs after all, so of course
it does. :) I'll have to give it a shot.
