And I suppose the following switch as well:
generate-page-ranges-for-ranged-indexterms: Yes/no
I agree that with such switches available, this issue would go away.
How do we mandate that they be put in the official DITA toolkit?

generate-page-ranges-for-index-entries-on-adjacent-pages:
Yes/no
generate-page-ranges-for-entire-topics:
Yes/no
