USAGE:
    REPEAT 'word value body

DESCRIPTION:
     Evaluates a block a number of times or over a series.
     REPEAT is a native value.

ARGUMENTS:
     word -- Word to set each time (Type: word)
     value -- Maximum number or series to traverse (Type: integer series)
     body -- Block to evaluate each time (Type: block)

'el is a word that "refers" to each ELement in 'blk. The line could be
rewritten as:

        foreach Element blk [append/only result fn :Element args]

I hope that helps!
