7.79 .rept count

Repeat the sequence of lines between the .rept directive and the next .endr directive count times.

For example, assembling

        .rept   3
        .long   0
        .endr

is equivalent to assembling

        .long   0
        .long   0
        .long   0

A count of zero is allowed, but nothing is generated. Negative counts are not allowed and if encountered will be treated as if they were zero.
