Why does enumerate seem clunky, other than the fact that you should
probably have
    doStuff(i,v)
instead of myList[i] in there? It's a bit more awkward than C's
syntax, but since the typical use case is just iteration anyway, it's
not a huge deal for those few cases where you actually need the
indices.
