It seems like my hack is what you're asking for.
I will confess that my current line of thought is to 
move the custom index support into RDBMS instead.
Together with a couple of other enhancements of 
RDBMS, I think that will work out nicely.

I can't promise to have anything before Christmas, though
(I can almost promise not to.) If you want to play with the
hack I have right now, I would welcome the feedback.
