I agree. It's like "foreach" in D. It's less powerful and foundational than a "for" loop (in fact, the compiler internally rewrites foreach into for), but that takes nothing away from how darned useful (and far less bug prone) foreach is.
Also, the glue layer rewrites "for" loops into "goto" loops, as gotos are more powerful and foundational :-)
