Comment:

 Incidentally, I noticed that repmat currently has the comment:
 '# should figure out how to generalize this one.'

 That's exactly what the above 'reparray' function does.

 Repmat itself could be generalized with minimal backward compatibility
 issues by using a *varg:

 {{{
 def repmat(a,*shape):
     return reparray(a,shape)
 }}}

 Then "rempat(a,m,n)" in existing code will continue to work.
