Description:
When a sequence with a cycle does a rollover, it sets itself to its minimum
value.
I would like an option to create a sequence that resets to the minimum value
plus the amount by which the next number exceeded the maximum. Perhaps like
this:
create sequence foo increment 616 min value 0 maxvalue 999 cycle modulo;
This allows me to create a sequence where the generated numbers are not
consecutive, but which will exhaust the number range I have assigned (by
making the increment relatively prime to the number of elements in the
range).
(PS: 616/1000 is, of course, the golden ratio <g>)
