[Gambas-user] function to "wrap" a number between upper and lower bounds

I need a function like:
Wrap(number, lowerbound, upperbound)
such that Wrap(5,1, 3) will return 2. In other words, it "wraps" the
number around the supplied bounds and returns where it "lands". I
believe it would work similarly to assigning a value to a datatype
outside its scope, like assigning 300 to a Byte type.
I looked up some solutions online and none of them really seemed to work
properly and their comments were surrounded by debate. Is there an
efficient way to do this, and does anyone think it would be a useful
function to add to Gambas itself?
