+1 to provide both options: they're not intrusive (as I can keep using
enumerate without those), and having both helps in the understanding
of the function.

I mean, if I find an option that is "start", I can confuse if it will
start counting or giving me the elements of the iterable... if I found
both parameters, it will be easier to understand.
