Not quite on topic for the thread, but this interested in me in terms
of - what are the use cases?
Somewhat similar to Ralph's use cases, this paradigm comes up quite
often in my code. Probably the most common case is where I want the
performance of a 'repeat for each' loop but don't have a proper
iterator to use, so I have to use a doppelganger. Examples here from
actual working code:
Hehe - I wasn't clear enough there... I meant 'use-cases for a
generalized form allowing start index to be specified'.
Although, Ralph's suggestion of allowing a counter alongside *any*
repeat perhaps suggests the generalization *might* be worthwhile (after
all there isn't a thing you are counting from 1 there - unlike in repeat
for each).
So, let me rephrase - what are the use-cases people can see for allowing
(some variant of):
repeat ... with counter tCounter starting from tStart
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
