This could already be done with a implementation-specific pragma, applied t=
o a named loop; no?

Granted, it's not in-the-language, but it sounds like exactly the sort of t=
hing that implementation-specific pragmas should be used for: tweaking code=
 generation. (And this format would comply by not altering the legality of =
the program.)

Listening to Dmitri talk on this, I think that subject needs a lot of thoug=
ht put into it BEFORE putting it into the language. Especially because you =
get M*N operations {where M and N are the number of objects in a Type'Class=
, and may increase because of further inheritance}... and that's only with =
two base-classes.
