Description
Would be really useful to expose the current iteration counter in REPEAT/REPEND loops.
I know it's do-able with bracketing SET/increment statements, for example...
.TEMP SET 0
REPEAT 3
.byte .TEMP
.TEMP SET .TEMP + 1
REPEND
If it were easy in the code, then something like...
REPEAT 3
.byte @ ; where @ is the current repeat loop #
REPEND

Research direction
Start by locating the assembler handling for REPEAT/REPEND and the existing SET expression mechanism. Determine how a loop counter could be exposed using the proposed @ syntax, then verify that the example emits the expected sequence for each repetition.
