... Actually Dinu is right, this separate bar indexing was added by me
about 8 months ago (as I said earlier in the thread).

The original aggregates could use anything as an index which is what I
think Andy means. The interpretation of the possible indices is left up
to the client (in this case the bar chart).

At one point we discussed doing this sort of thing by acquisition, but
that was dismissed as to dangerous. Perhaps now that acqusition is more
'mainstream' it might be desirable to re-examine the design choices.
