I would *think* (just my opinion without much thought on a Friday 
morning) that this would/could be unsafe _if_ it was a for loop on a 
numerical indexed array.  Of course, my thinking may change after my 
first bottle of Dew. ;)

For the longest time, I hated foreach.  Looked at other people's code 
who used it, and just wanted to strangle them.  However, I was sorta 
forced into it about 8 months ago, and now I'm in the camp of, "Damn, I 
really like this".
