The second part is not always true, sometimes you want to reset an array which is MAX_PLAYERS long.

Its technically not a "still the same loop".

It uses a loop, yes, but a dynamic loop, saving you processing time.
When you use frequently a certain loop, like in a timer with an interval of 1000 milliseconds, you'd want it to be as fast as possible, foreach will sure ensure it.

foreach uses the y_iterate approach, which is also a child library of YSI.

Loops are useful, but they're better when they're short.
