Get Sense for Each Coedge in a Loop (VBA)

This example gets the coedges in a loop and their senses.

'--------------------------------------
' Preconditions:
' 1. Open a model document.
' 2. Select a face on the model.
' 3. Open the Immediate window.
'
' Postconditions:
' 1. Traverses the loops on the selected face.
' 2. Gets the number of coedges on the selected face
'    and the sense (i.e., true if the coedge has the same
'    direction as the underlying edge, false if not)
'    for each coedge.
' 3. Examine the Immediate window.
