Excellent.  I look forward to seeing it.

I know the in-memory index is working properly, because I can change
something in properties with my new buttons and I get the expected
behavior.

I know the in-memory index is working properly, because I can change
something in properties with my new buttons and I get the expected
behavior.

I've been trying to trace map_indexer(), map_search(), and friends,
and it's been a little mind-numbing.  If it gets too much for my poor
addled brain, I'm perfectly happy to ship you the patches for what
I've got working if you can solve this last problem.

Jack.
