If somebody shows me how I can walk e.g. a linked list with foreach ... 
in ... do with the same speed as with p:=p^.next; then we'll add it :p

However, we're currently concentrating our efforts regarding language 
features on stuff which gives you a real gain like templates and 
language supported multithreading, not some useless thing invented by 
Borland to have something new in D2005.
