So now I'd like to choose between enumerate() and indexer(). Any closing arguments?

I'm leaving that quote anonymous so nobody gives it more or less weight than it deserves . I prefer enumerate(), because a transitive verb is more appropriate than a noun. OTOH, enumerate() is just a fancy pants way of saying "countoff()", which is nicely confusable with operator.countOf if you're tired .
