That was my first thought, and, yes, in general, it is more idiomatic to
use a normal "C-style" for loop instead of the "foreach" style version.
But then I looked at it more carefully...

I think in this case, it would actually be OK to do it that way, provided
you were willing to assume that there's only one "-f". I.e., note that
even though he's accessing the array in random order, he is pulling the
"each+1" element once he finds a match.
