Word of advice: when we use "simpler" around these parts we're
referring to cognitive burden on the end developer and not the actual
amount of interpreter/library code utilised to solve the problem.

Ergo: 'enumerate(<some_list>)' is the correct suggestion over manually
maintaining your own index, despite it ostensibly being "more" code
due to its implementation.
