tracker issue : CF-3777403

Problem Description:
When using the CFLOOP tag in pre-CF10 code, it was possible to specify a from and to attribute that was a simple time value (e.g 08:00:00 or 19:00:00. However this seems to be broken in CF11 and is mainly a backwards compatibility issue.

Steps to Reproduce:
Simple loop that will output every time between 8am and 7:30pm in 5 minute increments. Works pre-CF11.
<cfloop from="08:00:00" to="19:30:00" index="time" step="#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,5,0)#">
	#TimeFormat(time, "hh:mm:ss")#<br>
</cfloop>

Actual Result:
Attribute validation error for CFLOOP.

The value of the FROM attribute is invalid. The value cannot be converted to a numeric because it is not a simple value. Simple values are booleans, numbers, strings, and date-time values.

Expected Result:
08:00:00
08:05:00
08:10:00
and so on...

Any Workarounds:
Use the CreateTime function. 

<cfloop from="#CreateTime(8,0,0)#" to="#CreateTime(19,30,0)#" index="time" step="#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,5,0)#">
	#TimeFormat(time, "hh:mm:ss")#<br>
</cfloop>
