falls squarely into the latter category: it's messy to parse, worse to

I definitely have to disagree here (while still not having an opinion on the topic "for-in-index" itself): once you've worked on Delphi style generics you know what messy parsing is... and I already get nightmares thinking about what I still need to add for Delphi's generics support... This for-in-index is a peace of cake to parse in comparison.
