is there a way to get the index in Y.each function?

hi,

first of all, i found the use of NodeList.each very cool.
Y.all('#test li').each( function(li){
Y.log('li: ' + li.get('innerHTML')
} )

thanks for the great lib.

When using each, is there a way to get the index? should the each function pass one more argument as the index?

I was running into this myself... ended up using Y.Array.indexOf to get the index. This didn't seem efficient to me.

I found myself resorting to for-looping when I was in need of the index; seems the each method is better for delegation to another method and where the method that's getting delegated to doesn't need to know about the index.

that works only for Array, but if the data is an object or a NodeList, it won't work

Code:

  var data = [{one:1}, {two:2}]
      Y.each(data, function(v,k,a){
        Y.log('v: ' + v + ', k: ' + k + ', a: ' + a + ', index: ' + Y.Array.indexOf(data, v))
      })

replace with:

Code:

var data = {one:1,two:2}

that's the problem!
