On the other hand, you get the ability to redirect aliases or
subcommands
of ensembles to [lrepeat] calls with the elements already filled in.
Old style allows:
interp alias {} fiveTimes {} lrepeat 5
New style allows:
interp alias {} emptyList {} lrepeat {}
interp alias {} zeroVec {} lrepeat 0
I really can't say which is most useful or even if any is useful at all,
but either way you lose one ability. One that anyhow is just a proc
away.
