Let me explain what's happening here.

Original sentence looked like this:

    The low overheads of the address and data dependencies discussed in

Here, if "address dependencies" were there, I could have said:

    \IXalth{address dependencies}{address}{dependency}

Instead, I put an index marker of "Dependency, address" on the lonely
"address", therefore it became:

    \IXalth{address}{address}{dependency}

\IXalth{}{}{} prints any string in #1 with an index marker of
"#3, #2" put on it.

Macros of \IX*alt* are powerful and can do whatever you'd like.

Thank you.  I like those cautionary remarks.

        Thanks, Akira
