But the *reason* for this proposal is to turn this idiom:
for i in range(len(seq)):
element = seq[i]
...
into this:
for i, element in enumerate(seq):
...
It's hardly useful for types that don't have numeric indices, so the fact that
it _does_ work with any iterator seems almost an implementation detail.
I quite like the name enumerate. Hate itercount. I'm neutral on indexed.
