"repeat2.h" and the previously suggested "second_repeat.h" are both valid
for the filename. If we decide to change the filename, then I'd go with
"second_repeat.h".

I have considered using BOOST_PREPROCESSOR_REPEAT2() for the second
repetition primitive. Unfortunately it sounds like that it would repeat
the expression exactly twice, or start repeating from 2, neither of
which is the purpose of the primitive. (It also collides with
BOOST_PREPROCESSOR_REPEAT, but that can be changed.)
