Yes, \item is re-defined to take an active end-of-line character as its
final delimiter; if this were not done, I would not be able to grab each
index entry and typeset it as I wish :

% !TeX File=Index.tex
% !TeX Program=XeTeX
% !TeX Root=A5-Master.tex

\def \Leftline #1%
	{
		\vskip \baselineskip
		\leftline {\largeboldredfonts #1}
		\vskip 0,2 \baselineskip \relax
	}

\let \finish = \end
\def \begin #1{}
\def \end #1{}
\vfill \eject
\obeylines
\def \item #1
	{\leftline {{#1}}}
