# This script filters input lines (which are expected to be a list of
# `\indexentry' lines for MakeIndex) eliminating matching lines. The comparison
# is done without regard to hyperlink label names (in the form `IDX*', where `*'
# stands for a non-negative integer).
-
+#
# This has to be done to avoid terms which differ only in hyperlink label names
# embedded into them, because MakeIndex will treat these otherwise identical
# terms as distinct, listing more than once a page number for equivalent terms
# on the same page.

# `stripped' array is indexed by `\indexentry' lines stripped off the hyperlink
# label name. For each term, we use its stripped version as a key into the
# `stripped' array to increment its element. This records the fact that we have
# seen the term with such key. Also, we add the (full) `\indexentry' line to
# the `terms' array, but only if we have not yet seen a term with such key.
