function indexPath(/*PageItem*/child,/*PageItem*/root,/*bool=0*/AS_SPEC,  a,t,p,rk,tk,pk,i,o,x,s)
//----------------------------------
// Assuming that `root` is a parent of `child` in the DOM hierarchy, returns
// a root-to-child path in the form of a `.<collection>[<index>]` sequence,
// each element being introduced by '.', e.g. `.textFrames[1].ovals[2].textFrames[0]`
// The result is then that `child === root.textFrames[1].ovals[2].textFrames[0]`
