How about if xx became x, and then we did things like:

Maybe you meant this?
[~] $item x $count
No, I'm pretty sure I meant what I wrote. But if x coerced $item into
a list (treated it as a list of one item), then that would work too.
I like that a lot.
And we could still have ~x as a shorthand for that specific case since it
would likely be used often enough.
Well, if we think it warrants it. About the only P5 operator I use
less than x are the bitwise ones, and the '...' operator. And maybe modulus.
If I only had the one replication operator to remember, I think I'd
prefer it. But I'm happy with whatever Larry decides.
