I would guess that Walter has forgotten more about language architectures and
compiler design than you two ever knew combined.  foreach_reverse is not a
large enough issue to question Walter's abilities.

If you've listened closely, and I don't think you have, he has said repeatedly
that he sees enough utility (its use w/ arrays) that it's staying.  Give it a
few releases and hopefully this woeful abomination of sugar won't affect you
too much.
