[Python-Dev] PEP 279 revisited

[Guido van Rossum]

See http://python.org/peps/pep-0279.html

There's one nagging issue that I'd like to revisit.  I think I still
like the name itemize() better than enumerate(), even though itemize()
reminds some people of items().  Somehow that doesn't strike me as a
strong argument: the words look pretty different to me.  I like
itemize() better because (a) it's shorter, and (b) the LaTeX command
"\itemize" can produce numbered lists (it can also produce bulleted
lists).  I'm ready to open this one for a vote. :-)
