experimental "for_list" solves so many issues of each , that I'm already very happy if it's not slower.

It's elegant, orthogonal and intuitive, and I hope the experimental phase will be a success.

This benchmarks claims it to be much faster, but we all know how tough it is to write reasonable benchmarks which don't compare apples with oranges.

Actually I'm surprised that copying large hashes into a list can even compete with the built-in iterator-counter of perl hashes used by 'each'.

The implemention must be very clever. Or the overhead will only show with much larger hashes.
