Not to undermine this fact, but I believe the fact that `where` can be used in 
a for loop is not widely known. I didn't know about it until about a month ago 
(haven't really read much docs, but most people don't either).

But after I found out about it, I started using it and it IMHO improved 
readability of my code. Not by much, but it's the little things that make you 
smile, right?

Many people here argument that `where` is a Swift speciality and needs to be 
learned by the developer - the alternative is to teach the person what's the 
proper alternative - that using .filter can have performance impact and that 
the *correct* way is to use guard within the for loop. And that's IMHO much 
worse than teaching a person about using `where` within a for loop.
