[snip proposal]

I'd definitely vote for this. It would be a new evolutionary step for D. 
The suggestion is an extremely powerful and generic construct that 
generalizes not only the foreach iterator constructs, but many others 
aswell. Just some quick thoughts:

You could reimplement the while-loop:

void _while(lazy bool condition, void delegate() dg, inout void* ret) {...}

The infinite loop could finally be expressed without cludges:

forever {...}

You could make your own threading construct:

asynchronously { s.connect(); s.send(something); s.close(); }

Or why not:

foreach_parallel (objects) (Object o) {
   o.doSomething();
}

A custom synchronization construct:

mySynchronized("namedLock") {
  ...
}

The possibilities seem endless. It is almost scary. And best of all: It 
doesn't contain a single template. :)
