Mohammad, I have long wanted this mechaisium my self. There are ways to emulate it, but a direct index variable is ideal.
I wonder if the feature can be supported by the existing caching since this will have many possible uses and does become important when lists get longer. A zero OR one based index would also be helpful to avoid adding one every time in many cases. There are a whole class of situations when knowing the position is useful, the set index parameter can be used to access the nth item in a list, so you could use one list to map to another eg days of the week, 1, mon, monday etc... Also when generating a list then being able to enter a range of start and end values etc...
