Perhaps what we need is a more flexible enumerate function? enumerate(iterable, startatindex=0, countfrom=0)

+1 to provide both options: they're not intrusive (as I can keep using enumerate without those), and having both helps in the understanding of the function.

I mean, if I find an option that is "start", I can confuse if it will start counting or giving me the elements of the iterable... if I found both parameters, it will be easier to understand.
