Summary: no wraparound for enumerate()

Initial Comment:
This patch enhances enumerate() in two ways:
* first, an optional start argument is added, which
will be the first index
* second, the index does not wrap around at sys.maxint,
but will continue using long integers.

Guido already rejected having an optional start parameter.  And without that, there is no need for 
wrap-around logic.  I would like to keep enumerate simple, fast, and as clean as a whistle.
