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().
Why would it be nice? What would you use it for?
The only thing I can think of is printing lines with line numbers, and starting those line numbers at one instead of zero. If that's the only use-case, should it require built-in support?
