I didn't downvote you, but I feel I should. You're suggesting making a magical change to a language because you seem to have failed to grasp the way it works.

If the best use case you can come up with is the one you've given then we've got real issues. If my team were ever iterating over a list to find the index of an item I would be very upset. That is categorically not the right way to do it.

Regarding the ethos - zen, ethos, call it what you will. Explicit is better. Maybe English isn't your first language but your idea is less explicit than the way it works T te moment.
