Actually, I'm on record as saying the opposite: we shouldn't need to
distinguish the exact data type at the syntax level, so long as the
FOREACH construct is understood to mean "iterate through the members of
the composite object produced by this expression":

I am not, however, wedded to that position --- if people are happier
with explicit use of ARRAY here, I won't fight hard to get rid of it.

Anyway I'm going to start on this patch next, so last chance for
opinions about the syntax ...
