$loop->index	The index of the current loop iteration (starts at 0).
$loop->iteration	The current loop iteration (starts at 1).
$loop->remaining	The iterations remaining in the loop.
$loop->count	The total number of items in the array being iterated.
$loop->first	Whether this is the first iteration through the loop.
$loop->last	Whether this is the last iteration through the loop.
$loop->even	Whether this is an even iteration through the loop.
$loop->odd	Whether this is an odd iteration through the loop.
$loop->depth	The nesting level of the current loop.
$loop->parent	When in a nested loop, the parent's loop variable.
