Previously, support for iterables was added to t-foreach. The idea was that anything that you can spread or on which you can use for..of would be supported. Due to an implementation mistakes, strings, which are iterable were not supported because we checked that the typeof the iterable was 'object'.
To fix this, we coerce the iterable to an object and check whether that coerced value has a Symbol.iterator property, which is what happens behind the scenes when using for..of or spreading a primitive.
Closes: #1503
