The second part of this advice I assume is now just out of date, since
it will simply produce a second index entry called Cpp. However, the
first part *almost* works - it outputs an entry "C" with a subentry "+"
(without the & you can't get a + out at all).
What is the up-to-date workaround for this issue to let me get a single
entry in the index that just says "C++"?
Minimal test file is as follows:
\starttext
We are talking about \index[&Cplusplus]{C++}C++, the programming language.
\placeindex
\stoptext
Thanks!
