RE: [sv-bc] Question on foreach loop

The user has to provide a value for the skipped index. That could be an
expression that is dependent or independent of the other indexes. 

There's no rule requiring you to access the array used in the foreach
iterator or access any array; A *foreach* is just a shortcut for
declaring nested *for* loops. The body of the loop can use those
iterates any way they choose.
