Subject: Hpricot and XPaths with indices

Hello,

I just started to use HPricot a few days ago (what a cool piece of 
software! ;-) so it is possible that I have just overlooked it but I did 
not find a way to evaluate XPaths with indices yet. Instead of a general 
XPath, e.g.:

(doc/'//div/table/tr/td/img')

I would like to lookup an indexed one:

(doc/'//div[2]/table[3]/tr[2]/td[8]/img[2]').

OK, I guess this is doable by ((doc/'//div)[2]./table)[3]... or 
something similar, but is this the only (and accepted) way?

TIA,
Peter
