it depends on where you want the index to point to ... normally to the
beginning of the entry, just think of
\index{Einstein, Albert}Albert Ein-<pagebreak>stein
Albert Ein-<pagebreak>stein\index{Einstein, Albert}
in the second case the index points to 'stein' and if no Einstein is on
that page the user might wonder where the index entry pointed to
Ok, one could end up on Albert but as the user expects "Albert Einstein"
that's ok
Albert~Einstein\index{Einstein, Albert}
might be an alternative
