FR: allow ByRef to be used in For Each loops

So I came across yet another irritating situation where I really wanted to
be able to use for each, but was forced to go back to the old syntax:
 
"for i=0 to blah"

I simply wanted to assign all elements in an object array to nil.
RB lets you code this using for each, only to find out that actually one is
just assigning a useless reference to nil, not the original element. This is
documented but easy to trip up on by mistake.

I need a syntax like this:

For Each val ByRef As myClass In myClassArray
 val = nil // set every element in the array to nil
Next

or

For Each val ByRef As Integer In MyNumArray
val = val +1 // increment every element in the array
Next

Here is the feature request:
