FWIW I recently replaced several C-style loops with *for ( x in y )* for 
iterating over both lists and maps in CPS code and for the most part 
conversion went fine. There were a couple of CPS sections where I could not 
use that construct and had to fall back on the C-loops and further do a 
torturous cast to avoid a serialization error getting keys and values from 
the map. I want to say *Set<Map.Entry<K,V>>* caused the exception because 
*AbstractMap.SimpleEntry* and *.SimpleImmutableEntry* are serializable, 
while *Set *is not, per the JDK.

for ( int i = 0; i < myMap.size(); i++ ) {
  
  // hacktacular String() cloning to avoid NotSerializableException; also 
  // hacktacular Map > Set > Array morph to enable C-style looping
  final foo = new String( myMap.entrySet().toArray()[i].value )

  // do stuff with foo...

}


Nonetheless as mentioned in another part of the script I had no problem 
using the shorter alternative, nor accessing keys and values using 
*myMap.key* and *myMap.value*. Not sure what the difference is with my more 
stubborn loop.
