Even then, chances are you have some kind of logic done, even in this
simple of loop (for example, what is 'some_key'? the node ID? the user
ID? the free tagging term?). A 'get all the db stuff into an array'
function just means instead of doing:

while ($data = db_fetch_array($result) {
  ...
}

you're doing:

foreach ($data as $key => $value) {
  ...
}

Same difference, except you end up looping twice. :P
