We need to extend the index inset dialog (which is currently only used for
multiple indices). The dialog would contain things such as (at least):
( ) Start range
( ) End range
Cross reference ("see"): ______________________

The above entails the most common subset (but the possibilities are much
larger, of course).

As for the OptArg, I was thinking about something similar: Define the GUI
string in the layout. However, I was thinking about extending the mechanism to
allow for mandatory arguments as well. Instead of the collapsables (which are
OK for real "short titles", i.e. in headings and captions), you would set
these opt args in the paragraph dialog (in the same vein as the "longest
label", which is actually a mandatory arg).
