Knowledge always gets scattered across the program. The end
index can vary endlessly but that doesn't seem to worry
you. So why is a varying start index so worrysome?

I don't see why the start index can't be accessible through
a method or function just like the length of a list is now.
My favourite would be a range method so we would have
the following idiom:
for i in lst.range():
do something with lst[i]
