HELP FOREACH                                          SH JLC, July 1982

    foreach <pattern> do <actions> endforeach;
    foreach <pattern> in <list> do <actions> endforeach;

FOREACH is used for iteration over a database consisting of a list of
lists.

The <pattern> is matched (see HELP *MATCHES) against each element of the
database, which defaults to the value of the variable *DATABASE when the
IN <LIST> clause is omitted. After each successful match, the item that
matched the pattern is bound to the variable IT and the <actions> are
performed.

Usually, the match will have side-effected the value of some variables
in the pattern.
E.g.
    vars x list;
    [[a is big] [b is small] [c is big] [d is small]] -> list;
    foreach [?x is big] in list do
        it=>
        [therefore ^x is heavy] =>
    endforeach;
    ** [a is big]
    ** [therefore a is heavy]
    ** [c is big]
    ** [therefore c is heavy]
