AFAIK jumping into a foreach is the only real dagerous thing here - something that is simply a technical challenge which we can certainly over come. Those memory leaks are no real problem, as the Engine cleans that up at the end of the request anyway - documenting that you shouldn't jump out of a foreach loop if you *really* care about this minor issue is then adequate - although I again see that this problem can be solved too.
