Current behavior

Currently, I am using RangedIndex for everything, even if I will never perform > or <.

    zhToken = zh.addCollection('token', {
      unique: ['entry'],
      rangedIndexes: {
        sub: { indexTypeName: 'avl', comparatorName: 'js' },
        sup: { indexTypeName: 'avl', comparatorName: 'js' },
        variants: { indexTypeName: 'avl', comparatorName: 'js' },
        tag: { indexTypeName: 'avl', comparatorName: 'js' }
      }
    })

Where sub, sup, variants, tag are all string[], and not supported to be sorted upon.

Expected behavior

Maybe, a faster index is needed, depending on use case. Not everything is avl/js.
