fpc 2.0.0 doesn't compile this... are "for..in" loops in a newer

FPC will never support this, AFAIK. It doesn't really add anything new, it
just shortens the code somewhat. Only in toy examples is it nice, in
practice it doesn't really matter. We should try to keep the language as
small and clean as possible.
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.
