Summary

A general repetitive control structure is 'for all Elements in Set-or-list do Program'. It parallels universal quantification in mathematics. The for-all acts as a generator or control vector for the program. It processes a composite structure or order independent set in terms of processing individual components. This provides uniform reference for a set's or list's components. (cbb 5/80)
