+ *
+ * ```js

+ * const store = createStore().setTable('pets', {

+   * The setIndexDefinition method lets you set the definition of an Index.
+   *
+   * Every Index definition is identified by a unique Id, and if you re-use an
+   * existing Id with this method, the previous definition is overwritten.
+   *
+   * An Index is a keyed map of Slice objects, each of which is a list of Row
+   * Ids from a given Table. Therefore the definition must specify the Table (by
+   * its Id) to be indexed.
+   *
+   * The Ids in a Slice represent Row objects from a Table that all have a
+   * derived string value in common, as described by this method. Those values
+   * are used as the key for each Slice in the overall Index object.
+   *
+   * Without the third `getSliceIdOrIds` parameter, the Index will simply have a
+   * single Slice, keyed by an empty string. But more often you will specify a
+   * Cell value containing the Slice Id that the Row should belong to.
+   * Alternatively, a custom function can be provided that produces your own
+   * Slice Id from the local Row as a whole. Since v2.1, the custom function can
+   * return an array of Slice Ids, each of which the Row will then belong to.
+   *
+   * The fourth `getSortKey` parameter specifies a Cell Id to get a value (or a
+   * function that processes a whole Row to get a value) that is used to sort
+   * the Row Ids within each Slice in the Index.
+   *
+   * The fifth parameter, `sliceIdSorter`, lets you specify a way to sort the
+   * Slice Ids when you access the Index, which may be useful if you are trying
+   * to create an alphabetic Index of Row entries. If not specified, the order
+   * of the Slice Ids will match the order of Row insertion.
+   *
+   * The final parameter, `rowIdSorter`, lets you specify a way to sort the Row
+   * Ids within each Slice, based on the `getSortKey` parameter. This may be
+   * useful if you are trying to keep Rows in a determined order relative to
+   * each other in the Index. If omitted, the Row Ids are sorted alphabetically,
+   * based on the `getSortKey` parameter.
+   *
+   * The two 'sorter' parameters, `sliceIdSorter` and `rowIdSorter`, are
+   * functions that take two values and return a positive or negative number for
+   * when they are in the wrong or right order, respectively. This is exactly
+   * the same as the 'compareFunction' that is used in the standard JavaScript
+   * array `sort` method, with the addition that `rowIdSorter` also takes the
+   * Slice Id parameter, in case you want to sort Row Ids differently in each
+   * Slice. You can use the convenient defaultSorter function to default this to
+   * be alphanumeric.
+   * @param indexId The Id of the Index to define.
+   * @param tableId The Id of the Table the Index will be generated from.
+   * @param getSliceIdOrIds Either the Id of the Cell containing, or a function
+   * that produces, the Id that is used to indicate which Slice in the Index the
+   * Row Id should be in. Defaults to a function that returns `''` (meaning that
+   * if this `getSliceIdOrIds` parameter is omitted, the Index will simply
+   * contain a single Slice containing all the Row Ids in the Table). Since
+   * v2.1, this can return an array of Slice Ids, each of which the Row will
+   * then belong to.
+   * @param getSortKey Either the Id of the Cell containing, or a function that
+   * produces, the value that is used to sort the Row Ids in each Slice.
+   * @param sliceIdSorter A function that takes two Slice Id values and returns
+   * a positive or negative number to indicate how they should be sorted.
+   * @param rowIdSorter A function that takes two Row Id values (and a slice Id)
+   * and returns a positive or negative number to indicate how they should be
+   * sorted.
+   * @returns A reference to the Indexes object.
+   * @example
+   * This example creates a Store, creates an Indexes object, and defines a
+   * simple Index based on the values in the `species` Cell.
