enter the permuted index

Wouter did you ever see the two indexes of the Common Lisp Hyperspec? There is a normal index and a "permuted" one, which almost always does exactly what you want.

Having glanced at the glib documentation, there's an awful lot of "no clean word-break" words (Gallocator to GUINT_somethigorother, then I haf paged past several screenfuls and went "ugh, bad") and any trivial definition of "permuted index" would have a problem. Of course, one might argue that it's a namespace problem, though a clean prefixing is almost always better than a mix of styles.
