Still somewhat noisy IMO. How about this, C++98 (I think):

#include <boost/foreach.hpp>
#define FOREACH BOOST_FOREACH

FOREACH(Document &doc, win.documents())
{
     // do stuff with each document
}

See:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/doc/html/foreach.html

"BOOST_FOREACH is designed for ease-of-use and efficiency. It does no 
dynamic allocations, makes no virtual function calls or calls through 
function pointers, and makes no calls that are not transparent to the 
compiler's optimizer. This results in near-optimal code generation; the 
performance of BOOST_FOREACH is usually within a few percent of the 
equivalent hand-coded loop. And although BOOST_FOREACH is a macro, it is 
a remarkably well-behaved one. It evaluates its arguments exactly once, 
leading to no nasty surprises."
