Sure!

Ok, as long as there is a member function "ever"
in which and what.

so I can write

   which For;

   do { } while (For.ever() )
  and

   what What;

   if (What.ever() ) { }

I'd like a "where" for every, and a "other" for each.

 every Every;

  if (Every.where() ) {}

  each Each;

  if (each.other() ) {}

Also be really careful what you ask for, Expression templates allow alot of
this sort of thing.

Actually, seriously, "thing()" isn't that far off from "to_ptr()"

Too bad, overloading functions don't deduce the return type.

I always like the Monty Python version....
