It's not "error-prone", it's "you're not used to it."  You very
commonly fall into the fallacy that if you think something's
bad/confusing/not what you're used to, then _everyone_ must think that
way and therefore it _must_ change.  Sorry, that's not the way it
works.  I haven't mistyped a foreach loop, ever.  Deal with it.
