Log: Fix small inaccuracy: there is no index function

Yes, there is, it just isn't a builtin - it lives in the operator module.

def index(self): -        """index(self)""" +        """someobject[self]""" return int(self)

Changing the docstring to say "operator.index(self)" would be the clearest solution here. (Choosing to accept arbitrary index objects as integer equivalents is up to the object being indexed, just like interpreting slices is - a dict, for example, will never invoke index methods).

Cheers, Nick.
