map/filter/reduce style - ie. 'get other people to write your loops for you'

@bjzaba_ it is nice to do that sort of thing for terseness sometimes... wishing I had mirven.github.com/underscore.lua/ for c#

Would be interesting to see what kind of scripting you could lay over the top. (I'm not super experienced though)

Mmk. Yeah you're probably right (you have much more experience with it) I'm naive and still have tons to learn. ;)
