295	[patch] Add reverse counter variables to template &#34;for loops&#34;	Clint Ecker <clintecker@…>	Adrian Holovaty	"I had a need to iterate backwards through the counter (i.e. 24,23,22,21...1) while displaying the items in a list in the proper order.  I propose the addition of forloop.counterr and forloop.counter0r variables to complement forloop.counter and forloop.counter0.

It's a simple patch and I've inlcluded it here:
