Re: $p:index vs position()

/ Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com> was heard to say:
| I was reluctant to introduce $p:index in p:label-elements partly
| because it seems inconsistent with other steps that use position() for
| position in a sequence.
|
| I don't think we can hope to make position() work in p:label-elements,
| so I wonder if we should use $p:index in p:split-sequence and other
| steps where we need to keep track of the position.

Further analysis:

* "and other steps" is the empty set, AFAICT

* this change would require creating a $p:last-index or some such

So maybe it's not with considering.
