After REPI and WHILEI, the loop variable contains the number of iterations.

As pointed out by Per Austrin, the value of the loop variable after
the loop was undefined. Define it to be the number of iterations,
i.e. one beyond the last iteration value. Also add a modified test
case provided by Per in #7.
