KeywordIndex, FieldIndex and UnIndex (the base class for most indexes) are 
now
able to index multiple attributes. PathIndex and TopicIndex do not need to 
be changed
since their id is not directly bound to an attribute/method of an object. 
For DateIndex
and DateRangeIndex I do not know if it would be useful to be able to index 
multiple
attributes (any usecases ?). TextIndex remained untouched since it is more 
or less
deprecated because we have some better alternatives.
