# Pops one "count" item from the +:int+ stack, and one item from the +:code+ stack.
# The net effect of the instruction (unless interfered with by another operation)
# is to evaluate the +:code+ item "count" times.
#
# If the count is negative, an +:error+ item will be pushed to the +:error+ stack. Otherwise,
# a ValuePoint containing the following "macro" is created and pushed onto the +:exec+ stack:
#   block {
#     value «int»
#     value «int»
#     do exec_do_range
#     popped item
#   }
#   «int» 0
#   «int» count - 1
# where +popped_item+ is the code from the +:code+ stack, and +count - 1+ is a decrement of
# the "count" value.
#
# *needs:* ExecDoRangeInstruction must be active in the context for this to work; needs 1 +:int+ and 1 +:code+ item
#
# *pushes:* it's complicated...
