Comment (by eschnett):

 I disagree with a separate option for checkpoint files. If the index files
 are really fast and cheap, this option should not be necessary. And after
 all, checkpoint files are also read, either by visualisation tools (e.g.
 for NaN debugging), or when restarting; in both cases, index files could
 be useful (depending on the reader).

 The change in default value can obviously not be back-ported. The new
 parameter should also not be backported. Deleting checkpoints' index files
 should be backported as bug fix.
