I don't agree because foreach on a tuple is just plain foreach. 
That it unrolls is just an implementation detail that doesn't 
change much else. I think considering it to be a separate kind of 
loop is like considering foreach over arrays, ranges, and opApply 
items separate loops. Those are just different implementation 
details of the same user concept.
