What are the plans regarding "functional part" of the language?

1) It seems the standard library would benefit from implementing 
functional alternatives to every statement (e.g. foreach, switch, 
etc.). There are some more interesting functions (like "tap" 
which was discussed on this NG not so long ago)

2) @pure functions - attribute inferring (feasible? good idea? 
going to be implemented in some way?) and optimizations (is there 
any good showcases right know? what's the potential? what's 
planned?)
