+/// A situationally-optimized version of `array.into_iter().for_each(func)`.
+///
+/// [`crate::array::IntoIter`]s are great when you need an owned iterator, but
+/// storing the entire array *inside* the iterator like that can sometimes
+/// pessimize code.  Notable, it can be more bytes than you really want to move
+/// around, and because the array accesses index into it SRoA has a harder time
+/// optimizing away the type than it does iterators that just hold a couple pointers.
+///
+/// Thus this function exists, which gives a way to get *moved* access to the
+/// elements of an array using a small iterator -- no bigger than a slice iterator.
+///
+/// The function-taking-a-closure structure makes it safe, as it keeps callers
+/// from looking at already-dropped elements.
