On rare not common occasion.  And then I've either added an $i++
in the foreach loop or else used a for(;;) loop.  I am nervous about
adding more special little invisible side-effect magic when it's
something that is seldom needed and already feasible.  And it won't
be free, either, but that's not the biggest concern.
