I don't see the motivation for removing enumerated(). It's a source-breaking 
change that seems unjustified to me. Sure, enumerated() isn't as flexible as 
one might like, and you can certainly reproduce its effects with zip(), but I 
don't think we've demonstrated that enumerated() is actively harmful. Removing 
it means obsolescing a bunch of training material, blog posts, etc. What do we 
gain by removing it?
