The code above demonstrates that replacing `enumerated` with `zip` gives
you anonymous tuples that need to be accessed with positional properties.

In contrast, the tuple returned from `enumerated` gives you named tuple
(offset: Int, element: Element).

Does this change your opinion when you take into account the sorry state of
tuple handling in Swift 4, that prevents you from writing concise and
readable functional code? See:

SR-4745 for (index, (a, b)) in dict.enumerated() produces an error
https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-4745

SR-4738 Can not decompose nested tuple in closure arguments
https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-4738
