Daryle can build his own defense on why he included multi_newer. It is cleaner than inserting the same character multiple times. You're right that it's not an improvement over inserting std::string('c', n). The name, of course, is a problem, too. [TRUNCATE]
The idea for "multi_newer" just popped into my head. The string solution is worse because it forces an extra memory allocation.
I wouldn't use a string in place of a fixed number of repeitions of a given character. I said this in some other message, but I like cout << repeat('c', 17) Jonathan
