Ah, a compelling argument.  Thank you.  But, as you point out yourself, this
doesn't take away the need for foreach itself.  Furthermore, if you wanted to
provide *real* power, you could put the "parallel" option on the foreach task! 
I'll have to concede that the parallel option might be a little dangerous for
general consumption, though.  :-)
