These seem like good ideas, except that I would have chosen C-x ) instead of C-x e, for symmetry with C-x (. Actually, I think a better idea would be to make `C-x e' repeat if you hit SPC afterwards, and display a message to that effect so that it's obvious, e.g., SPC would be easier to type over and over than e. However, one thing worries me about both ideas: both of them could be error-prone. You might want to type an e, or a space, for its normal meaning, after executing the macro.
