I favor leaving Python as-is, since this entire thread is about solving a
non-problem.  If you want a shorter way of writing 'range(len(x))', you can
always write your own function.  If there is really a need of such a
function in '__builtin__', I would prefer that it have a new name.  How
about 'indexes'?
