A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
JSR 201 propose a for loop (foreach) specifically designed for iteration over collections and arrays.
I propose to extend foreach loop to CharSequence.

JUSTIFICATION :
Java 1.5 introduced some new API to improve the way
how java handle character input/output processing
like Scanner or Readable
but doesn't provide support to iterate over strings.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
for(char c:s) {
  System.out.println(c);
}


ACTUAL -
for(int i=0;i<s.length();i++) {
  char c=s.charAt(i);
  System.out.println(c);
}

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
use classical for loop.
