+  When you are iterating through an object, you are advancing through its keys and values. You should not also access the object or other objects. E.g. within a loop over `myobject`, you should not be accessing `myobject`. The following is an anti-pattern: `for(auto value: myobject) {myobject["mykey"]}`.
