Well I have a little egg on my face.  I was putting the transparent index stuff
after the ".)z" in my macro rather than before.  After fixing that I was still
having trouble with the index entries lining up when it was printed.  Adding
the ".ti 0.0i" fixed that, I think.

	.(z
	.(c
	Text of figure
	.)c
	.ce
	Figure 5.
	\!.(x f
	\!.ti 0.0i
	\!Figure 5
	\!.)x
	.)z
