And by compelling, please make them REALLY compelling. They should be
something that is MUCH clearer than any existing method of doing the same.
Your example of printing the indices of an array is contrived and trivial. It
shows no useful work and can be implemented in a dozen different ways.
Besides, all it really shows is that the containers should have used signed
integers for indices, not unsigned.
Note: you're unlikely to get "dofor" as a keyword. Please investigate a new
syntax that does not involve a new keyword and does not break existing code.
