SYNOPSIS
       package require Tcl  8.2

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 imple-
              mentation in Tcl will be used.

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