Awesome!

However, I think that Joel was looking for a solution closer to what
Hraban suggested, creating automatic subcategories. I would do that
through a additional macros:

\starttexdefinition protected Animals#1
    \index{#1}
    \index{animals+#1}
    #1
)
\starttexdefinition protected Plants#1
    \index{#1}
    \index{plants+#1}
    #1
)
\Animals{dogs}
\Plants{trees}





I use as a general indexing macro:

\starttexdefinition tolerant protected Index[#1]#:#*#2
     \index[#1]{#2}
     #2
\stoptexdefinition
