This may have came up before, but as far as my wishlist for #14 (or
#15) is concerned, this one is in it:

Something that will make Jmol very useful for the metal community is
simple unit cell representation: a way to show 1 copy in direction a,
two in direction b, etc. With copies of the unit cell boundary and an
option to fill all unit cells with the multiple periodic copies of
atoms on corners/boundaries.

As far as I know, this is only possible now within the central unit
cell, it is possible to produce periodic copies along the symmetry
axes, but this doesn't deliver the clear unit cell copies, not without
a lot of work to cut-off the copies afterwards.
