The issue with getting values or keys is solved, eg in lua, where you write:

for (k, v) in pairs(t) do
    blah
end

where t is a table (though pairs treats it as a map. Sorta).

MochiKit’s forEac() and map() certainly play nicely with nodelists — in fact I mostly use those, unless I need the keys as well, or to short-circuit.

JS’s for … in notation is bong anyway. Whenever I try to use it I have to remind myself that it returns the keys and not the values. I always get it wrong the first time.

I wonder how MochiKit’s iter module handles node lists (or other platform libraries’ equivalent, if they have something like that).
