Changes (by eric_niebler):

  * status:  new => closed
  * resolution:  => wontfix

Comment:

 Can't be done. MSVC 'for each' can't operate on native array types,
 iterator ranges or C strings nor is extensible via Boost.Range
 customization points. 'for each' also cannot iterate over an STL container
 using a non-const reference iteration variable.

 Nobody has complained about compile times with BOOST_FOREACH.
