position() would be a perfect fit except for one thing: in the roadmapped ranked indices
(http://boost.org/libs/multi_index/doc/future_work.html#ranked_indices)
I will need another member function to return the position ordinal of a given element (that is, the inverse of operator[]), and for that "position" seems also a good candidate.
IMO that should have been "index."
But "index" already has a disparate meaning in the context of Boost.MultiIndex. I need another synonim: ordinal, rank, situation?
`ordinate` is more appropriate that `ordinal` IMO, and is a good choice an alternative might otherwise be: `kernel`, but then again many might not like it, and give rise to debate.
