The thought of specifying a value to repeat was part of the original idea

having a version where blank is default is OK, kind of Hungarian notation a

character!

Niels Liisberg has just suggested a more appropriate
%REPEAT(<character>:
<times>) option. Maybe you can comment on the IDEA's site.

Like I said, *if* I had the slightest idea how to do so, or even if I'm
eligible to comment.

Unfortunately, so far, I have no idea about either. Is there a link?
