I want my .ForEach(System.Action)!

Well I was adding things to a dictionary today (Because im lazy, I have to store 2 values, and I really cant be bothered with creating a class just for that), and I wanted to run a ForEach(System.Action) on it, because I like doing that on System.Collections.Generic.List – it works well, so why change what you know?

But, it turns out Dictionary dosent have a .ForEach. It implements IEnumerable, but it dosent have support for the .ForEach, which is rather strange, since they both do the same thing, but it dosent have the Action method. So I did some digging, and found that .ForEach is a method that belongs to List, and its pretty much the only way to do it (There is a System.Array.Foreach(T[] array, Action) method, but that dosent work with a dictionary.

What I see happening is me extending Dictionary to add a .ForEach (And the other functions that are missing from it, in my opinion at least), because I think that since it implements IEnumerable, it should support .ForEach.
