Me too.. I just wonder whether it should have some more test coverage:
 - force v2 index by default
 - force a mode where a random smattering of index entries are done using 
   64-bit notation (even if they obviously won't need the high 33 bits)

As it is, nobody would normally even *use* the new format, much less the 
new capabilities.. And if it's not used, it's not tested, and it's going 
to have bugs.
