I do this with a latex macro. I have a "calls" macro that reads:
\calls{thisfn}{theFunctionCalled}
which creates
thisfn 77
calls theFunctionCalled 42
theFunctionCalled 42
called by thisfn 77
in the index. I use the hyperref latex package so each of these
becomes a hyperlink into the book. I have considered writing an
emacs function to generate the lines but it takes so little work
that I can't be bothered. I cons up an emacs keystroke macro,
point at the function called, and it adds the \calls line at
the head of the function. Point, C-x e, and it's done.
The index is really useful when reading or refactoring because I
can find all of the callers of a function by just looking at the
back of the book.
I probably should add the \calls macro to the clojure pamphlet.
