I'm still working on that. :-)  But the article is turning out to be quite a bit longer than I anticipated -- there is just so much I want to say!  The draft is on the wiki but I don't really want to post the link just yet because it still needs lots of editing before it's ready for public consumption.

Hey, can you at least put scare quotes around "static foreach" each time it is used? There's no such thing as static foreach and while we might call foreach over a typetuple "static", it isn't a precise term and invites additional confusion.

Done.

I've gotten the draft into a semi-acceptable state, though I'm still not fully satisfied with it just yet.  But perhaps now is a good time to solicit input from forum members, so here's the link to the draft:
