No sooner said than done!

// Script without so many locals ("Spam, spam, spam and eggs spam hasn't got
too much spam in it"...)
#local C=1000000;
#while(C)
    do_stuff( C );
    do_stuff( C - 1 );
    do_stuff( C - 2 );
    ...
    do_stuff( C - 8 );
    do_stuff( C - 9 );
    do_stuff( C - 10 );

    #local C = C - 10;
#end
