Re: [boost] Proposed BOOST_FOREACH

Works great for me. 

This sort of macro really gives me a lot of hope for C++.  I didn't 
think it was possible, actually.  Generic programming is just crying out 
to be combined with functional programming.  Lambda is great for small 
stuff, but it's trouble when things get complicated.

BOOST_FOREACH, on the other hand, only works for one (important) task 
but handles added complexity very well.  I'm already thinking of places 
to combine the two.
