Description

Some clients might already have an event store yet they might want to index events as well. One of those clients is for example Riot-X on Android.

Such clients will want to use only the indexing side of Seshat. Luckily the implementation already has a clear separation of the database and the indexer.

For this to be fixed the Index struct will need to be made public, documenting all the public methods will be necessary as well.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing private Index struct and its methods in the Rust indexer implementation. Make the intended indexing API public, document each public method, and verify that the crate still builds and exposes the API for external clients.
