That of consistency.  As expressed by "doesn't belong".

> You disagree that `seq library' doesn't belong.
> Fair enough.  Why do you think it belongs?

That's a wrong question, when talking about index entries.  the
important question is "is it useful?"

> library'.  It's not obvious to me.

Not obvious to you doesn't mean you should file a bug report, or that
