Minor nit that fixes a bunch of indexing: the way the classdesc environment saves the name of the last class described, method and member descriptions were not picking it up correctly. Thus, many index entries were described as "( method)" instead of "(FooClass method)". Multiple entries were collapsed in the index when methods/members from multiple classes share the same name.
