createFActionForEachHomogeneous will call exactly one chunk of code.
(In Objective C speak, that means the IMP.)

If you have a Square that has a draw method and subclasses of
GreenSquare or BlueSquare with their own draw methods, then, if you
build the FCall for the Square, and one of the ForEach set is an
instance of GreenSquare, you won't get the square drawn in green.  The
fact that the ForEach dispatch doesn't have to check makes it faster.
