Do the various Bio::Index* modules share a common interface?  

I wouldn't worry too much about it for this release, unless you really have
time.  It is still, after all, a developer's release, and you've noted it in
Bugzilla.  We could try for another dev release in winter (rel 1.5.3, I
guess) to get any bug fixes or new modules added.
