We have all been doing what you suggest for years, which is precisely the

would be extremely welcome.
I wouldn't deny that it wouldn't be welcome.
However, as there IS a way of getting that sort of thing done, without
too much
fuss; I wouldn't put it anywhere the top of my wish list.

1) Precedents for this structure already exist in the language, so it's
not a departure:
repeat for each item x in "a,b,c".
2) The "repeat for each" structure is more efficient than looping through
controls, and developers would gain the benefits of fast processing.
3) The lives of developers would be easier.
How many times have I started typing "repeat for each buttonŠ" and then
stopped myself, having remembered "Oh yeah, we can't do that."

That'd be nice. And as long as we're dreaming, how about:
repeat for each card c in this stack
repeat for each button b of this card
I had to do that for myself way back in hypercard . . . it was absolutely
necessary for what I was doing, and I've never understood why it wasn't
part of the language.
Why not just have a script something like this:
put 1 into KARD
repeat until exists(card KARD) = false
-- do whatever you want on card KARD
put (KARD + 1) into KARD
end repeat
