IMO, C++ is missing a foreach construct *and* a lambda construct. :-)
When the loop body is non-trivial, writing it as a lambda would make the
code hard to follow. I shudder at the thought of a lambda that takes up
more than a few lines. A foreach construct would make it easier to read,
in that case.
