I just realized it is not necessary.  The TOC mechanism in ms is
very general.  It requires the user to provide content for the
TOC between calls to XS and XE, but that content can contain
arbitrary control lines, so we can just set up the indents
any way we like.

Here's a demonstration using Joerg's example.
