For each loop in Native C++

Since Visual Studio 2005, native C++ has had a ‘for each’ loop construct, like C# or Java. Unfortunately it is restricted to collections from the STL library, such as vector. However, it does mean you can write very neat code to iterate through such a collection:
vector<int> data(3); data[0] = 10; data[1] = 20; data[2] = 30; //instead of this int total = 0; for (vector<int>::iterator vi = data.begin(); vi != data.end(); vi++) {     int i = *vi;     total += i; } cout << "total: " << total << endl; // do this: total = 0; for each( const int i in data )     total += i; cout << "total: " << total << endl;
Now we just need that making part of the C++ standard! If you are writing standard compliant code you will have to use the for_each function [^].
