Why not just have a script something like this:

put 1 into KARD
repeat until exists(card KARD) = false
-- do whatever you want on card KARD
put (KARD + 1) into KARD
end repeat

I have just tested this on a 50 card stack which has a button on the 
first card
with this fairly trivial script:

on mouseUp
    put 1 into KARD
repeat until exists(card KARD) = false
  set the backgroundColor of card KARD to blue
put (KARD + 1) into KARD
end repeat
end mouseUp

--------------------

so, quite frankly: "repeat for each card c in this stack"

doesn't seem worth bothering about.

-------------------

AND, presumably, as cannot be bothered to try this out;

"repeat for each button b of this card"

can be handled in a similar way.

Surely, there are more interesting enhancements we could ask for?
