It should be pointed out that with this use of repeat, the code inside
the loop has no knowledge of which iteration the loop is in.

This best used when there are multiple conditions that could trigger the
criteria to exit the loop. This is because there are two other repeat
syntaxes to evaluate one-criterion conditions.
repeat until <condition>
-- stuff
end repeat
This starts out with a false condition and the loop continues until the
condition becomes true.
repeat while <condition>
stuff
end repeat
This starts out with a true condition and the loop continues until the
condition becomes false.
