No, I was only trying to point you to #12, the part of the message where I
mentioned such a `repeat-command' function.

Of course. `repeat-command' is a general function and entirely separable from
the rest of what was discussed in that mail thread.
Sorry for side-tracking you. I was not trying to revive that discussion, but
only point out that I already proposed this function (and so yes, from my point
of view it could be included in Emacs).
As I said, I use `repeat-command' a lot, myself. So I know that it can be used
in different contexts that are unrelated.
And the fact that it is not in Emacs means that I end up redefining it in
different files. No big deal - it's short. I do likewise for things like
`remove-if'. ;-) (No, not trying to revive that debate either.)
