Thanks.
Would you mind letting me take over this one? I found a case where
pre-expansion with an index expands way too many symbol tables. Fixing
this will necessitate changing the pre-expansion API, plus maybe some
other things.
I think it would be simpler for me to fix up the index code first, then
update this patch to fit. Also I would be able to test this patch for
the over-eager expansion problem as well.
I'm out next week but I will finish up this work the week after.
