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
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.
