Originally I opposed the @funindex foo form as being both redundant and misleading, but was out-voted (3 to 1). But on thinking about it again I have changed my mind, for
the following reason.

The description of the contents of the Function index states that it "lists all the LilyPond commands and keywords". \foo is a command and foo is a keyword, so I am now of
the view that both should appear in the function index.

IMHO, one of those forms is redundant.  Which one?  I'll walk over all
such index entries and fix it accordingly, but I ask you to decide
which form is the right one.

I think the [EMAIL PROTECTED] foo' form is redundant, since the actual
function/command names always begin with a backslash.  However, I
think it would be acceptable to use [EMAIL PROTECTED] foo' as well as the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] \foo'.
