Advanced formula functions? i.e. FOREACHMBO( )

    MAM 7.6.1.2:

    In the Database Configuration --> Add/Modify Formula Functions window, there are functions that seem like they're more advanced than the functions we normally use in formulas:



    From the EXPFUNCTIONS table:
    BREAK break from a loop
    CONTINUE continue inside a loop
    FOREACHMBO for each mbo
    FOREACHTOKEN loop through each token in a string
    GETVAR get variable
    INVOKESCRIPT invoke another script
    INVOKEWORKFLOW invoke workflow
    SETQBE set qbe to a mboset variable (varname, attrname, qbeexp)


    Question:


    What is the intended purpose for those functions? Are they meant to be used in formulas, and if so, how?
    What would be an example?

    Thanks.

    So these functions are for the MBR scripting language which is based on the formula engine.
