>>> for i in len(myList): ... doSomethingWithIndexes(i) is simple and elegant. IMO it would be clearer, and equally elegant, to write this as something like for i in indices(myList): ... which is easily accomplished with the aid of a suitable definition for indices(). No language changes needed.
And I believe most of those use cases are better covered by enumerate() anyway.
Interesting that in the course of this discussion I've gone from 'nice idea' to 'no way!'
Cheers, Nick.
