we have a better and mnore powerful mechanism now

\defineprocessor[bf][style=bold]
\defineprocessor[it][style=italic]

\starttext

     \index{it->italic}\index{normal}
     This is a \index[bf->bold]{test with bold number}test.
     This is a less important \index{test}test.

     \placeindex

\stoptext

(see test suite registers/processors*)
