Ah, that was my mistake. Sorry for the noise. I don't know why I just
did not make use of the $-accessor, but tried to do some selection.
The following works exactly as (I) expected it :-)

<hansl>
strings S = defarray("A", "B", "C")
loop foreach i S -q
     eval $i
endloop

... (etc.)

Are you sure? For me it just reproduces the object itself (array,
matrix...) And that's what I expected, although I totally agree with you
that automatically iterating would be cool.

Oh ok, I've updated to latest git 1 hour ago. So maybe Allin did some work on
this last night but hasn't finished or announced it, yet.

No, I haven't touched that code lately. Here I'm seeing what Sven
says: each of the loops prints the given object once.

A "foreach" loop works only for lists and strings. In the case of, for
example,

matrix M = seq(1,3)
loop foreach i M -q
      eval $i
endloop

the loop controller is being fed a single string, "M"; then $i dumps
that string into the "eval" line and the matrix M is printed. The loop
is therefore exactly equivalent to "eval M".

Oh, both of you are right. I should have inserted a stop after the eval command in the loop block for checking whether I've obtained multiple outputs or just a single one.
