Just also grepped lots of code and have surprisingly few instances of
index-search. Most are with constant indices. One particular example
that comes up a lot is

line = line[:-1]

Which truncates the trailing "\n" of a textfile line.

Then some indexing in the form of

negative = (line[0] == "-")

All in all I'm actually a bit surprised this isn't too common.

Cheers,
Johannes
