Hi, Sergey!
Thanks for the patch!
LGTM, after fixing my minor comments below.

Minor: It is rather "by moving index incrementation in the separate
statement from the loop invariant check".

I suggest creating for this value the `INT_MAX_M1` variable.
Feel free to ignore.

`pcall()`-s look excessive here since we always expect only 1 element to
be unpacked, so we obviously have enough space for it. Let's drop them.
