[swift-evolution] [Idea] Replace enumerate() with something more explicit

[Andrew Bennett]

I support a fixed version. I don't think that's mutually exclusive with
removing enumerate.

This thread seems to be a result of a misused API, so I think it's
necessary to make it obvious when that API changes. I think we'd want a
period of deprecation with both enumerate() and a new (hopefully more clear
and concise) method, so that people can fix their code.

I think this would be a good change:

+ @available(*, deprecated, message="it will be removed in Swift 3")
  public func enumerate() -> EnumerateSequence<Self>
+ public func indexed() -> Zip2Sequence<Self.Index,Self> { return
zip(self.indices, self) }
