ENH: New foreach(<var> IN ...) mode

This creates a new mode of the foreach command which allows precise
iteration even over empty elements.  This mode may be safely extended
with more keyword arguments in the future.  The cost now is possibly
breaking scripts that iterate over a list of items beginning with 'IN',
but there is no other way to extend the syntax in a readable way.
