Amen to that!

I think the syntax Tom suggested before was FOREACH thingy IN ARRAY
arr rather than just FOREACH thingy IN arr.  That's probably a good
idea, because it gives us an escape hatch against needing to invent
yet another variant of this syntax - the word immediately following IN
can be known with confidence to be intended as a keyword rather than
as part of the expression.
