Couldn't the foreach() iterator do the same internally? If the
optimizer knows how to rewrite foreach(some_string / "\n", ...) into a
line iterator it would be nice if foreach(some_array / 5000.0, ...)
did something similar. Or maybe it does already? Of course, strings
being immutable is a significant property that may account for the
difference.
