That is, I'm OK with either not backporting anything at all, or backporting the full change. The only idea I object to is the one of removing the infinite iteration capability without providing a replacement spelling for it.
Is repeat('a') (omitting times argument) not a replacement spelling for it?
What about this alternative? Makes -1 consistently mean unlimited repetition and other negative numbers consistently mean zero repetitions then document this behaviour. Just throwing suggestion. I am not so keen to it, though.
