Where the for-each is appropriate

Although the enhanced for loop can make code much clearer, it can't be used in some common situations.

• Only access. Elements can not be assigned to, eg, not to increment each element in a collection.
• Only single structure. It's not possible to traverse two structures at once, eg, to compare two arrays.
• Only single element. Use only for single element access, eg, not to compare successive elements.
• Only forward. It's possible to iterate only forward by single steps.
• At least Java 5. Don't use it if you need compatibility with versions before Java 5.
