<div>I agree that it's very useful. I use it regularly. The documentation isn't that unclear, imo. To me, the underlying problem isn't enumerated. I think the underlying cause is that collections aren't indexed with zero based indices.if you don't understand this (which is the case for many experienced programmers new to Swift) it's hard to understand, and (too) easy to make a mistake.</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div>On Tue, 31 Jan 2017 at 17:41, Matthew Johnson via swift-evolution <<a href="mailto:swift-evolution@swift.org">swift-evolution@swift.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word" class="gmail_msg"><div class="gmail_msg"><blockquote type="cite" class="gmail_msg"><div class="gmail_msg">On Jan 31, 2017, at 10:36 AM, Xiaodi Wu via swift-evolution <<a href="mailto:swift-evolution@swift.org" class="gmail_msg" target="_blank">swift-evolution@swift.org</a>> wrote:</div><br class="m_3720081916406269865Apple-interchange-newline gmail_msg"><div class="gmail_msg">I totally sympathize with users being confused.

To clarify, the discussions I linked to don't all propose to remove or<br class="gmail_msg">
replace `enumerated()`, but they all talk about the potential confusion<br class="gmail_msg">
about what `enumerated()` does and does not do.<br class="gmail_msg">
