Most message names that end in 'do:' are enumerators and expect their
block to take an argument to eat up each successive value in the
enumeration.

`1 to: 10 do: [...]' is a shorthand way of enumerating over an (implicit)
sequence of 10 integers.  The mere existence of redundancy (giving
starting and ending values) should suggest that it's more than just
iteration (in which only the number of iterations, and not the value at
each iteration, is important).

The corresponding iterator is:

  10 timesRepeat: [Transcript cr; show: 'Had enough yet?'].
