foreach

I often find myself wanting to write this:
  foreach(; 0..n) {}
In the case that I just want to do something n times and I don't
actually care about the loop counter, but this doesn't compile.

You can do this:
  for(;;) {}

If 'for' lets you omit any of the loop terms, surely it makes sense
that foreach would allow you to omit the first term as well?
I see no need to declare a superfluous loop counter when it is unused.
