 `@syncodeindex'
 ---------------
 
   When you want to combine functions and concepts into one index, you
 should index the functions with `@findex' and index the concepts with
 `@cindex', and use the `@syncodeindex' command to redirect the function
 index entries into the concept index.
 
   The `@syncodeindex' command takes two arguments; they are the name of
 the index to redirect, and the name of the index to redirect it to.
 The template looks like this:
 
      @syncodeindex FROM TO
 
   For this purpose, the indices are given two-letter names:
 
 `cp'
      concept index
 
 `fn'
      function index
 
 `vr'
      variable index
 
 `ky'
      key index
 
 `pg'
      program index
 
 `tp'
      data type index
 
   Write an `@syncodeindex' command before or shortly after the
 end-of-header line at the beginning of a Texinfo file.  For example, to
 merge a function index with a concept index, write the following:
 
      @syncodeindex fn cp
 
 This will cause all entries designated for the function index to merge
 in with the concept index instead.
 
   To merge both a variables index and a function index into a concept
 index, write the following:
 
      @syncodeindex vr cp
      @syncodeindex fn cp
 
   The `@syncodeindex' command puts all the entries from the `from'
 index (the redirected index) into the `@code' font, overriding whatever
 default font is used by the index to which the entries are now
 directed.  This way, if you direct function names from a function index
 into a concept index, all the function names are printed in the `@code'
 font as you would expect.
