 As I explained in my previous reply to Paul - I did not expect for-in
 to support everything I use with Iterators. I simply wanted to find
 out if the for-in implementation is going to clash with my idea of
 implementing GetIterator() in RTL's container classes. So far I don't
 see any problems, and I can't see why we can't implement both. There
 are use-cases for both.  I see for-in as a "lite" version of Iterator,
 but I still have a need for a more "full" implementation as well -
 supporting a larger method interface.

 Java uses both, that is why I asked. But yes, I kind-of expected them
 to be the same thing, but just wanted to make sure.
