Yeah, in the first version of the PEP it was called "enumerate()". I
changed it to "list()" at Raymond's recommendation. The reasoning is
that it's less confusing to most people that way. TBH, I'd rather
leave it "list()", but could be swayed. Perhaps it would be enough
for the PEP to not mention any relationship to "threading"?

Really, you're going to change it from a name conflict with a builtin function to a name conflict with a builtin type?
