Lazy range iteration in javascript using underscore

Question

I've caught myself using this in place of a traditional for loop:

_.each(_.range(count), function(i){
  ...
});

The disadvantage being creating an unnecessary array of size count.

Still, i prefer the semantics of, for example, .each(.range(10,0,-1), ...); when iterating backwards.

Is there any way to do a lazy iteration over range, as with pythons xrange?

Just a note:

_.each(_.range(count), function(i){
  ...
});

is equivalent to

_.times(count, function(i){
  ...
});

small is beautiful...
