Repeat Loop

Wierd.

The issue is whether or not 0 is in the range of the counter.

So going from -2 to -1 ( or 1 to 2 or 66 to 67 or -3 to -2) gives 11 
interations, as it should since the counter is inclusive.
But going from -1 to 1 (or -1 to 0 or 0 to -1) gives 12 interations, one 
extra.
It is consistently wrong; going from -1 to 1 gives 22 iterations, still one 
extra.

Bug? Bug.
