Use NEWPAGE.  There are a few conditions that mitigate against using
.bp safely all the time.

I'm having trouble visualizing this, but I think the answer is no.

Agreed.  I'll have a look at what you've done and see whether full

addressed if the user isn't to be stuck with an unsatisfactory,
one-size-fits-all template for indices.
