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 the point of use (and will become more moot with C++11 lambdas).

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.
