ok.

If you use the iteration index, that is always a basic type.

At the SwiftScript layer, that index identifies the scope of variables in 
the loop body (wrt the containing scope) that makes sense for SwiftScript; 
that is, local variable t in iteration index 5 of a foreach will always be 
the "same variable", no matter when the karajan layer goes to execute that 
code block. I think.

I don't see any other immediately obvious way that is significantly 
different that does that kind of identification; and I think that kind of 
identification is necessary if doing variable-name based restarts.
