+Much like for macros, @code{.irp}, and @code{.irpc} the @samp{\+} sequence can
+be used to substitute in the number of iterations done so far. In such cases,
+i.e. when any @samp{\+} character sequence is present between @code{.rept} and

+backslashes. Naturally the amount of escaping necessary may increase when
+using nested constructs.
