I definitely have to disagree here (while still not having an opinion on 
the topic "for-in-index" itself): once you've worked on Delphi style 
generics you know what messy parsing is... and I already get nightmares 
thinking about what I still need to add for Delphi's generics support... 
This for-in-index is a peace of cake to parse in comparison.
