Simple test case

Despite what documentation says (http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#ForEach_Controller) ForEach starts looping with the startIndex+1 value and ends with endIndex, i.e. output variable has value of (startIndex + 1) on the first iteration and value of (endIndex) on the last iteration.

Having taken a brief look through SVN history I've got an impression that this bug is so long-standing that could be considered "a feature" and it could be wiser to correct documentation instead of possibly breaking behavior of existing tests suites.
