I think this is a pretty clear improvement, since
repmat
only implements a very small number of special cases ofrepeat
.I added the signature
repeat(array, n, m, ...)
since (1) this is consistent with other repeat methods likerepeat(str, n)
and (2) this makes it easier to deprecaterepmat
sincerepeat(A, outer=(n,m))
is a bit verbose. Then I hooked uprepeat(A, outer=...)
to call the optimized kernels we have forrepmat
when possible.
