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
              command string repeat then this command will be implemented in
              its terms, for maximum possible speed. Otherwise a fast
              implementation in Tcl will be used.

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