This is not quite true. -forvalues- does not
take an (arbitrary) numlist. That is explicit
in the syntax and implicit in the examples. It
is specialised to take ranges, where the definition of
range is idiosyncratic to -forvalues-, but -- as
pointed out earlier -- this certainly does not include
cases in which you wrap around modulo some value, tacit
or not.
(This thread is cycling round the issues
raised in one started on 14 November!)
