That's inefficient, I might as well perform the iteration while I'm
walking. No need for a whole pre-pass.

Anyway, you don't need to show me how to work-around the issue. Of you
think I'm not capable of figuring out workarounds myself, then I'm
rather insulted.
The point is, it's crappy, I see no real reason not to support
foreach(; range) or foreach(range), it is already precedented by
for(;;) (I was initially surprised by inconsistency, I'm sure I'm not
alone). I was just throwing it out there as a thought.
