#### 6.1.26 `repeat`

Usage:

       repeat [-row|-table] <count>

Repeats the rows of a table multiple times to produce a longer table. The output table will have `<count>` times as many rows as the input table.

The optional flag determines the sequence of the output rows. If `<count>`=2 and there are three rows, the output sequence will be 112233 for `-row` and 123123 for `-table`. The default behaviour is currently `-table`.

The `<count>` value will usually be a constant integer value, but it can be an expression evaluated in the context of the table, for instance `1000000/$nrow`. If it's a constant, it may be given as a plain integer (`1000`), or with embedded underscores (`1_000`), or in exponential format (`1e3`).
