DESCRIPTION
       The package textutil::repeat provides commands to generate long strings
       by repeating a shorter string many times.

       The complete set of procedures is described below.

       ::textutil::repeat::strRepeat text num
              This command returns a string containing the text  repeated  num
              times.  The  repetitions  are  joined without characters between
              them. A value of num <= 0 causes the command to return an  empty
              string.

              Note: If the Tcl core the package is loaded in provides the com-
              mand string repeat then this command will be implemented in  its
              terms,  for maximum possible speed. Otherwise a fast implementa-
              tion in Tcl will be used.

       ::textutil::repeat::blank num
              A convenience command. Returns a string of num spaces.
