foreach has been mentioned. I don't think ranges are
unequivocally a superior solution. opApply is more powerful for
fancy iteration tasks, such as parallel foreach.
Yes, I feel they are complementary. Ranges are cool for
Python-style or functional-style programming, foreach and opApply
reflects more traditional iteration.
I'm pretty sure that usage over time will show that they both
have their use.
