Right, and I think I have an action to show how this could be done
without index changes.

Basically, the idea is to generate one index for <indexterm>s, another
for <function>s, another for <type>s, another for <variable>s, etc.

If that's sufficient for your use case, I really don't think any new markup
is required. I certainly wouldn't want you to have to do this:

  <variable>someVarName</variable>
  <indexterm class="variables"><primary>someVarName</primary></indexterm>

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
