RE: [sv-ec] Can foreach iterate over a queue? If not, 12.7.3 would be more user-friendly if it mentioned this restriction

According to 7.11, a queue is not a kind of array --

     "Thus, like arrays, queues can be manipulated using the indexing,
concatenation, slicing operator syntax, and equality operators."

I see no reason for a restriction. This is the problem we always run
into when we try to list features exhaustively: we forget something.

All unpacked arrays should permit the same operations. The only
difference between different array types is when resizing the array.
