Control Invocation Syntax++

[Mark Mahieu]

It's a fascinating area to investigate.  I once built a 'foreach...where...orderBy' construct using BGGA:

List<String> words = ...
ExecutorService executor = ...

for each (String word : words)
    where  (word.contains("e") || word.contains("o"))
    orderBy (word.toLowerCase())
    selectAsync (Integer calculatedValue : slowCalculation(word), executor) {

        // ...
}

Very awkward implementation, and a bunch of other limitations, but interesting to experiment with.
