When creating an index, the index frequently ends up with similar words that should be the same word, like plural vs. singular, capitalized vs. non-capitalized, or things like "filesystem" vs. "file system", "real time" vs. "real-time", etc. It would be nice if there'd be a dialog to select several index phrases to combine them to a single index phrase, optionally creating a "see also .." type of index entry, like "Non-maskable interrupt ..... see NMI".

Sounds reasonable. There are a number of other pieces of the index system that could do with some de-duplication as well, for example updating an index for all uses of a particular word: Right now, you have to update each word individually. But that's a matter for another bug :P Status -> NEW
