It gives: "no index entries found for `for'"

What I've found so far is that the ARM doesn't include the language 
keywords as index entries :-(

This makes sense, as a specific keyword can appears in very different 
language constructs, with disparate meanings. My expectation is to have 
a command like:

     adahelp for

that pops-up a choice menu like:

     - for loops
     - representation clauses
     - ...

Hope this clarifies the idea.
