In practical usage, I rarely use enumerated() - and almost every time I do use 
it, I end up refactoring 20 minutes later to not use it. Maybe that's just me, 
though. I imagine this isn’t helpful feedback. :P But perhaps we (or I) need to 
understand what it’s being used for or if there’s a different way to think 
about it.
