I believe the following is a common use-case for enumerate() (at least, I've used it quite some times):

for lineno, line in enumerate(fileobject): ... For this, it would be nice to have a start parameter for enumerate(). The changes are minimal -- okay for 2.6?

Taking a new argument that has a default shouldn't be an issue. +1 from me. I assume it is just going to start the count at that number, not advance the iterable to that point, right?
