>The most universal operation in any language
Bullshit - you just pulled that out of your ass. Just off the top of my head arithmetic, bit shifting, allocating memory, conditionals etc etc. What you are describing as universal is a (shit) wrapper around a for loop or recursion. If you want that sort of shit use a lisp which at least gives you complete control over the iterator used by the fold/filter/reduce etc operation which in practice, means they basically re-implement the full fat for loop.
