If you really want to silence -Wshadow, you should not used `index' at
all: eventually, you'll be including strings.h and getting warnings due
to this (seen on GNU/Linux):

| NAME
|        index, rindex - locate character in string
| 
| SYNOPSIS
|        #include <strings.h>
| 
|        char *index(const char *s, int c);
[...]
| CONFORMING TO
