Yep, the repeat.

This makes sense.  One way to implement this is the way it is in 
PostScript and Joy.  A function is called with some looping parameters, 
perhaps a context and a chunk of code.

For a very simple loop (repeat with i = 1 to 1) this drops the max 
recursion call depth (for default) to 537 in my tests.  Adding a simple 
'if' drops it to 487 in my tests.

I expect we would see this in all structures.
