loops: having my cake and eating it too?

[gusl]

One programming annoyance when writing loops is wanting to access each element of the list without passing the index, i.e. with code like: for (el in list) while simultaneously wanting to know the index without writing i=0 and i++.

I'm not aware of any solutions to this in current usage.
