It was also my impression -- but, as I have just noticed, neither doc
string nor manual say that explicitly (they only talk about specific
case of "*" key starting calc)... I think they should be changed to
specifically say that repeating key bound to calc-dispatch should work
even if it has been customised.

Thanks for the explanation.

I agree!

Sounds good to me.
