This solution is very helpful and I can use modern browsers and a recent 
nodejs version. Many Thanks.

But one Problem remains. How must be the function modified if the array 
is generated in an asynchronous way? For example:

//--------------------------------------------------------
function foo() {
   setTimeout(function() {
     var arr = [1,2,3,4];
     // ???
   }, 500);
}

foo().each((oldItem,newItem) => {
    console.log(`oldItem: ${oldItem} newItem: ${newItem}`)
})
//--------------------------------------------------------
