Speaking of files, a useful workflow component would be one that iterates over a list of files, i.e. performs a parameterized execution of its action sub-component, where the parameter is a path-name from a Files component.

Or perhaps a more general component that iterates over any given vector, with a child component specifically for files.

I know this would be useful for my test designs.
