[issue2831] Adding start to enumerate()

[Scott Dial]

New submission from Scott Dial <scott at scottdial.com>:

Georg Brandel suggested enumerate() should have the ability to start on
an arbitrary number (instead of always starting at 0). I suggest such a
parameter should be keyword-only. Attached is a patch to add such a
feature along with added test cases. Documentation still needs to be
updated, but I wasn't sure how best to handle that anyways.

I wasn't sure how best to handle a keyword-only argument, so I'd be
interested to know if there is a better way.
