for loop in model code

[ChHaeni]

Would it be much effort to add for loop control flows and simple lists to the agrammon model code?

It would be nice to be able to loop over the application techniques and adding up its results.

Simple example:

my $res = 0;
for 'bc', 'th', 'ts' -> $tech {
  $res += $TE->{'app_tech_' . $tech};
}

Instead of

$TE->{'app_tech_bc'} + $TE->{'app_tech_th'} + $TE->{'app_tech_ts'}

What is the concrete use case? I am not sure, but this might not really be trivial.

It would make maintaining code much easier and less prone to errors. Right now I'm implementing a "loop" over all application techniques (currently 6) which produces 6 variables from a rather complex sum of Tech(), Val(), Out() calls, where the Tech() calls make use of the initially defined $app_tech.
Right now, I have to copy/paste the code 6 times & adjust the initial $app_tech accordingly, where a loop would be so much easier for future code maintenance...

But, if it's too much work, I'll go with my current construct...
