Hello,
Thanks for your feedback.
You do not quote my second email where I also said that
enumerate_with_rest was probably too specific and not worth it.
I would appreciate your feedback on my second email where I stress out
that python is missing a "filter_by_index" construct
and give several propositions.
Best regards,
Laurent Lyaudet
