I like the :nocirc suggestion, but the name doesn't make much sense to me. How about :posindex?

Well, I find it better than mine, but unsatisfactory too. I just couldn't concoct anything better: I wanted something short enough to be practical and I was thinking about "no circularity", but of course it's at best imprecise and more realistically patently wrong. OTOH yours gives me an impression of "positive indices only" which is not the case either. It's a matter of disabling a feature related to negative indices instead, for which I cannot think of a short enough description. But then you'll agree that it's a minor point anyway.

Update: (just not to clutter the thread with yet another reply) yes, TGI, I like all of your suggestions. Of course they are all as far away from reality as a more thorough coverage and a better implementation of attributes and a wider adoption of them.
