Libreoffice takes advantage of STL vectors throughout the codebase. So
just a general question: under what circumstances is it better to use
a for loop than an STL for_each loop?
Are there specific advantages to for_each over a regular loop?

...which cuts both ways, as you need to first look for the function's
definition to see what it does exactly, compared to having it inline at

That's IMO a reason why in C++03 a for loop with a short body can be
overall preferable to a for_each that requires a one-off function
definition.
