For the folks who like the 'where' and do not like the 'guard .. else
continue', (also considering in the equation the suggestion of renaming 'where'
by 'if'). One can get the 'where' syntax without the 'where' at the cost of
one indentation level and the set of curly braces.
for element in dataArray {
if condition {
doWork()
}
}
versus
for element in dataArray where condition {
doWork()
}
