This patch enhances enumerate() in two ways: * first, an optional start argument is added, which will be the first index * second, the index does not wrap around at sys.maxint, but will continue using long integers.
Logged In: YES user_id=80475 Guido already rejected having an optional start parameter. And without that, there is no need for wrap-around logic. I would like to keep enumerate simple, fast, and as clean as a whistle.
