We already have {section} and {foreach}, which are substantially similar and which essentially perform the same task on different types of array. Whilst I'm not convinced this is necessarily a good thing, it is the status quo and {iterate} is more in keeping with what's there now. Or perhaps {foreach mode=iterate}, which has the benefit of not declaring a new tag (I can see {iterate} being used already by some Smarty users). -- Mark Rogers, More Solutions Ltd
