for-each in Advanced student language

[Nadeem Abdul Hamid]

What happened to `for-each` in "Advanced Student Language"? When I got to the end of the semester in the spring, I was working with students on my usual classwork activities and discovered it was no longer there. Easy enough to redefine with 'map' in a pinch, but could we please have it back in ASL?

Thanks,

I chased down the history. Somehow `for-each` had somehow shown up in ISL+ where it never belonged (no effects in this lang). So I took it out when I discovered it fixing different issues in July last year. Silly me, I failed to check whether `for-each` was included where it belonged, namely, ASL (which I no longer use). (What’s worse, I left an incomplete note behind.)

I’ll try to bring it back for the summer release, which we just started to put together.

OK, `for-each` is in ASL now and should show up in the next release (Aug 1 typically). — Matthias
