ok. That's expected, or at least, I expect it.

foreach is a parallel map-like operation for running some action on each 
element in an array independent of the other elements.

I think you probably can't express that kind of iteration in SwiftScript 
at the moment (unless 'while' happens to work for you) though I'm poking 
round with ways to express that. (in functional programming terms, you're 
trying to do a fold rather than a map, I think).
