https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/pull/876
I've now added support for named loops - described in
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-967, however I have not
introduced a new `times()` step.
I think a new `times()` step would be of marginal benefit and could be
confusing - currently `times()` is a step modulator on `repeat()`.
I've also changed to explicit loop stack initialisation rather than setting
it up on the increment. Setting up the stack/counter on the increment creates
a problem in the nested context - when the inner `loops()` is called it
incorrectly returns the top counter from the stack.
