I thought I remembered this popping up recently, I would have mentioned 
it earlier but my Google-Fu at the time was weak and I though I was 
imagining things.

If you checkout v2.1.x[1] and then type:
----
$ git checkout -b foreach
$ git cherry-pick a3221304
$ git cherry-pick 11aa4442
$ git cherry-pick ba18f024
$ git cherry-pick de60e732
$ <mumble, compile, mumble, install, mumble>
----

It will either:
 * give you foreach[2] ('man 5 unlang')
 * make your pants explode[3]

Cheers
