I've seen several places where we are warned against counting
on any particular order of operation in processing elements of
a list or array. But when a state-ful traversal of a list makes
sense to me I would like to be able to tell the interpreter that I
want the traversal to be in order. There are already language
elements that affect the execution of some verbs (like fit and fill
specifications). Could something like that be established to
force sequential traversal of an array? The only alternative I
currently see is using 'for loops' to force the order.
