This behavior is not documented in help iteration

Generally, the following command does not print anything as expected:

do for [i=2:0:2] {print i}
do for [i=3:1:2] {print i}

However, the following cases print results but they shouldn't

do for [i=3:2:2] {print i}
3
do for [i=6:4:3] {print i}
6
do for [i=12:10:3] {print i}
12

It seems that this strange behavior occur for start-increment < end <= start in the following code structure

do for [i=start,end,increment]

I am using:

Build System: Linux x86_64
Laptop Linux mint Debian Edition kernel 3.10-2-amd64

Possibly related to bugs #1429 and #1358
