hi, I'm having trouble (is it possible?) trying to figure a way of repeating
a "shift" for a line quickly. Essentially, I want to be able to shift the
current (and only the current) line multiple times (let's say 5 times)

I've tried the following:
5>>
    => results in 5 lines being shifted
>>5.
    => results in the current line shifted once, and then with '5.' 5 lines
being shifted

The only key combination I've found that works (although not as efficient as
I would like) is '>l', and then '5.' to repeat. Is there anything better
than this?

I would have expected '5>>' to just do the shift 5 times _for the *current*
line_ - rather than its behaviour now of shifting 5 lines. Especially when I
can shift 5 lines with '>4j' (so it makes more sense to interpret '5>>' as
shifting 5 times for the current line).
