FWIW, although it's strictly redundant I think offering the choice
makes for a better user experience and would leave Alan's patch as-is.
I tend to disagree because I think of this as an interface to a (Lisp)
list, and because it makes customizing this variable slower than it
need be. Can you say why having the "none" option works for you?
My point is that consistency is presumably a good thing, and if having
a choice of "none" is good for this list-that-might-be-empty, wouldn't
it be a better idea to have that built-in to the `repeat' widget?
