Additional Notes

Arrays don't seem to work

From what I've been able to tell, the list must be explicity set when the Repeat is started. I haven't had any luck getting an arrray to work, and I haven't had any luck converting an array to work (without directly specifying the items).

It's quite frustrating, having a function which could step through an array would be very helpful.

As a possible comment on the usefulness of Repeat With List loops as currently implemented, there are none of these loops used in any of FCP's built-in filters.

Limited to Floats?

I've had no luck getting this type of loop to work with anything but a float. It fails with a syntax error on points and strings.
