This is not wrong per-se, but open coding what cache_name_pos() did
does not reduce the reliance of the singleton default instance of
the in-core index data structure.

What may have more value may be passing the pointer to an in-core
index structure through the codebase, which may help more parts to
be made callable as if they were library functions, but that would
be a much larger task and won't belong to this "finish the
conversion" topic.  But doing this change will not help us to get
closer to such a longer term clean-up, I am afraid.

Will queue.
