5172	Extend the {% for %} tag to work as a simple loop	Chris Beaven	nobody	"It's come up several times in IRC that people wanted to be able to just do a simple loop (repeat this X times) in their template.

The attached patch extends the `{% for %}` tag so it can also work like this:
{{{
{% for 5 %}
repeat me
{% endfor %}
}}}

It also works with integer variables and the `forloop` variable is still available within the loop:
{{{
{% for my_integer %}
loop: {{ forloop.counter }}
{% endfor %}
}}}"		closed	Template system			wontfix	for-tag enhancement feature	me@… danielcristian@…	Design decision needed	0	0	0	0	0	0
