That is true that if you can replace indexes with a multiple argument 
function. But an index is an integer not a real.
Furthermore the feature that makes indexed quantity behave just like a 
numpy array is neat.

I think that when you manipulate a tensor/matrix field it would be nice be 
be able to do algebra.

I also noticed that you cannot differentiate with respect to an indexed 
value:
***************************************************
f = IndexedBase('f')
i = Idx('i')
diff(f[i]**2,f[i])

>> Can't differentiate wrt the variable: f[i], 1

****************************************************

So, I understand that the idea is pleasant. Someone willing to extend 
indexes ? Otherwise, how can I help ? Do you have pointers to the ways 
indexes are working ? 

Thanks

Guillaume
