Here's the top of the help page:

DESCRIPTION:
       Returns an array  filled  with  integers,  each  of  which
       identifies  where  in  the current slice it is.  This is a
       generalization of the row and col functions: row(x) can be
       expressed  as slice.index(x,1) and col(x) can be expressed
       as slice.index(x,2).

Doesn't sound too hard to duplicate. Do you want to try? I think a
careful look at the sweep function might help....
