With an alphabetical index, I can't easily add the definition of the word in
the footer. In the document, I can't refer to the index entry defined in the
alphabetical index. So, I have to maintain the same definition in the index
entries and in the document.

With the User-defined index, I can maintain one reference of the definition.
The definition is created in the document (in the footer) with a custom style.
With this custom style, I can refer it in my index. I have to maintain a single
list of definition in my document.

Maybe, if the user experience was better with alphabetical index and index
entries, I think I would use it. But there are some limitations :
 * you can't view all index entries or you have to maintain it in a text file.
 * you can't refer to an index entry in the document.

The alphabetical index is more complicated to manage than a user-defined index
and I proposed this improvement because I thought it is not very complicated to
implement it.
