Subject: * eval.c (repeatv): Renamed to repeat. Turned into function with one
 optional argument, reflecting existing behavior. (eval_init): Registration of
 repeat updated.

* txr.1: Fixed incorrect documentation which falsely suggests
that repeat takes multiple lists, and doesn't mention
the optional count.

 Description:
 
-The repeat function produces an infinite lazy list formed by the repeatedly
-cycled catenation of the argument lists.
+If <list> is empty, then repeat returns an empty list.
+
+If <count> is omitted, the repeat function produces an infinite lazy list
+formed by catenating together copies of <list>.
+
+If <count> is specified and is zero or negative, then an empty list is
+returned.
+
+Otherwise a list is returned consisting of <count> repetitions of <list>
+catenated together.
