Here is a good (i.e. bad) example of inconsistent and, in my
opinion,
'noisy' index entries. This comes from repeats.itely

@node Written-out repeats
@unnumberedsubsubsec Written-out repeats
@cindex written-out repeats
@cindex repetitious music
@cindex repeats, written-out
@cindex repeat, unfold
@cindex unfold music
@cindex unfold repeat
@cindex unfold repeat with alternate endings
@cindex unfold music with alternate endings
@cindex alternate ending in written-out repeats

Yes it's nice to have all the possible ways to say the same thing
indexed for the 1 user that might choose to look for 'repetitious
music' (!!) but please, isn't this just silly?
Yes. The index is too long, largely because of the
silly See Also entries.
I don't have all the answers but I am sure we could standardize
some
of the index entries.
Here are two suggestions for removing index entries:
a) remove entries which are adjacent in the index and
point to the same section - that removes all those
starting with unfold except for unfold repeats (I
prefer the plural)
b) remove entries which start with variations of the
same word, eg repetitious music
Leaving
@cindex written-out repeats
@cindex repeats, written-out
@cindex repeats, unfold
@cindex unfold repeats
@cindex alternate ending in written-out repeats
@funindex unfold
