Hi Dave,

For the "for" loop initial value, "i" should be decremented before doing any
for-loop calculations (and it is not at all obvious if this is the ordering if we use
i--, and not --i).  Using --i in the initial value makes the ordering obvious.
However, I do agree with respect to the increment that --i and i-- are logically
identical.

Thus, the "for" loop could read:
	for (--i; i >= 0; i--) {

However, my own personal opinion is that this is a bit confusing.
I would prefer to leave these lines as they are.

Is that OK with you?

-Jack
