OK, so putting "at least in CPython, using a user-defined enumerate
function is a bit
slower than using the built-in version"

together with

"""
in fact, if performance is important, the following can sometimes be
the most efficient way to loop over things

     ix = 0
     for fibo in my_list:
         do something with ix and my_list[ix]
         ix += 1
"""

We still don't get anything that sheds light on how the code I posted
is deficient.

Why can't you just say "I made a mistake, I thought your code replaced
the builtin enumerate, but it doesnt"?

I'm sorry I posted it now, what a rigmarole.
