In func.sgml. For example, this section seems adequately well indexed:

<sect1 id="functions-sequence">
<title>Sequence Manipulation Functions</title>

<indexterm>
<primary>sequence</primary>
</indexterm>
<indexterm>
<primary>nextval</primary>
</indexterm>
<indexterm>
<primary>currval</primary>
</indexterm>
<indexterm>
<primary>setval</primary>
</indexterm>

One thought though is that it's not clear when looking at the index that
these entries are function names. Would it be useful to decorate them
somehow, eg by adding "()" to the names or setting them in a fixed-width
font?
