[ic] [if scratch...]

[Mark Johnson]

Very little compared to doing a bunch of if's inside a loop. But, each
interpolation does take resources.

Incidentally, even to do what you were trying to do, should you
restructure it in a way to make it work, would require two
interpolations since you were trying to compare the values of two
scratch variables: the [if..] interpolation, and the "[scratch count1]"
interpolation.
