HAL 0.5.7 -> 0.5.8 API changes (and subtle breakage heh)

There are several occasions in which a function argument called index
shadows declarations from header files (string.h), but i can't see why the
member name of the _struct_ was renamed.
If anything at all, then to go with other renamings from index to "idx", but
there is really no other reason than this consistency (in code), which
weighs much less than consistency of the API, especially since the PS iter
is not marked private, and addtionally since this is just a minor change
that wouldn't have had to be made.
