So from your proposal I would remove Interface-s and link iterator through label, label type is return type of .iterator() method.

String[] array ...; i: for (String s:array){ i.getIndex;//? }

While I understand that this may seem appealing, it really isn't. Labels are in a different namespace IIRC, and using that for psuedo method calls is really an abuse.

I accept that my proposal doesn't allow custom iterators, but I don't believe that to be a major problem. Consider it that my proposal tackles 80%+ of the problem (which was part of the 20% of the original looping problem, and still a good number of LOC in a reasonable system).
