TeX is not TeEncontreX, TeX is something 100 billion times more
complex, TeEncontreX is just three things :
- definition of an index (newcommand )
- delimitation of the space which index(es) is used (\jiji \jaja)
- use of the indexes ( \indeslkjk)

If this is too complex , or if this is TeX, then I'm missing something
very BIG. 

Anyway, I don't want to inflict anything to anybody. For me it's 
enough to leave in the annals of python the documentation system
of the future. This system ( or something similar ) will succeed 
sooner or later ( probably with somebody more powerful than me)
and I'm  more than happy to state here : "I was the first". This is 
indexing but in a non-indexing way: massive and 
inter-index-collaborative.

If I can make this clear enough, or anyone can clearly understand it
and want to spend the time, we'll get some years ahead the rest.
That's all. If not, well, pity!
