     The foreach package provides a new looping construct for executing
     R code repeatedly.  The main reason for using the foreach package
     is that it supports parallel execution.  The foreach package can
     be used with a variety of different parallel computing systems,
     include NetWorkSpaces and snow.  In addition, foreach can be used
     with iterators, which allows the data to specified in a very
     flexible way.
