Just in case this is not well-known, SpiderMonkey starting in Firefox
1.5 supported E4X and made the for-each-in loop work for all object
types, not just XML/XMLList. But not on Array element (indexed
property) values only, in index order -- again property creation
order, and named as well as indexed enumerable properties, are
visited. This shares code with for-in and preserves the equivalence
shown in the rewrite example above.
