Hi Srinivas,

I'm afraid I've been rather useless in my reviewing of earlier versions of this.
What I originally meant to suggest was that we'd have descriptions along the lines
of
u12/16{X4}>>2 (or u12/16X4>>2 without the brackets) rather than u12/16{4repeat}>>2

Now obviously you've gone a long way with this approach so I guess perhaps people
actually like the word repeat in there?

Sorry again that I didn't pick up on this in any of the last 4 versions you have posted.
Sometimes the eye sees what it expects to rather than what is there!

I don't particularly mind the version using the word 'repeat' if others like, it simply
isn't what I thought we had here!

(the rest of this series are fine now btw)
