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
