BTW, the one nowadays in listabs is the simplest of the fast [list-drip] 
implementations. The faster ones are more complex, but they're all based 
on the one bundled in listabs.

None of them are nearly as fast as [foreach] though. The gap widened in 
GridFlow 9.13 and 9.14, when the C++-wrapper used by GridFlow became much 
more efficient. A plain C version of [foreach] might still be a tiny bit 
faster, but I don't know.

It's always better to be in big trouble than in any trouble bigger than 
it.
