There are only nine that you can name explicitly, but there's no
obstacle to handling more with shift or %*. Also, there is a 'for' loop,
though the syntax is somewhat arcane (and you can always loop with
if/goto)

It can do arithmetic with 'set /a', and there is a 'setlocal' command
for local variable scopes.
