I saw this feature in a tweet by Jens that the map reporter can access the index:
And I couldn't find any mention of this in the manual.
But this would be nice for other list iterators. Eg. for each
. The list library has
but it sure would be nice if the built-in for each
could optionally access the index.
I think that the team like to encourage the use of HOF reporters vs command iterators so I suspect it'll remain out of sight in the library
Of course old dogs, like myself, that can't learn new tricks, use the command version all the time
There's a time to use the command, and a time to use HOFs. Some of the official libraries use the for each.
You can find what you want in the list utilities library.
I do agree that they should add an arrow at the beginning of the for each block that acts just like the input variables in the map block.
Command iterators have a place and time to be used, and it's annoying when you can't tell the index easily.
