Most people seem to be unopposed or in favour of some kind of
enumeration mechanism making it at least as far as the standard
library.

As I understand it, the current outstanding debates are::

  * Builtin types versus stdlib module (maybe 'collections')

  * Ordered sequences versus unordered iterables

  * Immutable versus mutable

  * Bad comparisons: raise exception versus return NotImplemented

  * Terminology for each of these concepts

Any new issues before I make a revised draft?
