Re: [Zope] programmatically adding an index.

hi,

in my Product I trying to programmatically create an index. like so:

myCatalog.addIndex('id', 'FieldIndex'), this works fine, but when I try to specify the indexed-attribute like so:

myCatalog.addIndex('name_sort','FieldIndex', extra={'indexed_attrs': 'name'})

the new index does not include the indexed_attrs. This is because the __init__ of Products/PluginIndexes/common/UnIndex.py expects for extra an instance of the HTTPRequest.py record-class. and does not support the mapping interface for extra. Is this a bug or feature ?
