In my case I didn't need any of these.  Simple things should be simple and  
intuitive to write.  Yes, we want enumerate *as well* especially for the  
more complex cases but we also want the basics to be simple, intuitive and  
easy.

That's all I'm saying here.  This seems to me to be very low hanging fruit.
