You mean the latter, right?

When writing the old docs, I added explicit index entries for synonyms,
and it was a pain. For the new docs, I threw out lots of synonym
entries when porting, because a synonym dictionary seems like a better
way to go, along with some automatic rules for plurals and things like
that. Eventually.
