To be rigorous, ideally the spec should abstract the process of 
execution into discrete steps, one of which would contain the 
compile time features of D (i.e. Expand all static foreach-s into 
rigorously defined D, but the actual lowering of this would be 
handled by a different chapter of the specification.
