This applies to origin/master.

For better readability and understandability for newcomers it is a good idea
to not offer 2 APIs doing the same thing with on being the #define of the other.

In the long run we may want to drop the macros guarded by
NO_THE_INDEX_COMPATIBILITY_MACROS. This converts a couple of them.

My main reason for this patch is to try out coccinelle as well as a
discussion I had off list about maintainability of software.

I just made these patches and wonder if now is a good time to pull through and
convert the rest as well?


You may also want to look at unpack-trees.c : mark_new_skip_worktree().
It has a local variable named "the_index" in the argument list.
You may want to rename this to avoid confusion.
