But having index-by-words set but being not in effect IS confusing/misleading.

This is why I am suggesting that it becomes an independent flag: one 
flag (index) controls normal indexing and another flag 
(index-by-words) control word indexing. When both are set, the latter 
(higher functionality) wins.

I think this would make things clearer for developers.
