rpt - Easily repeat a shell command
===
Repeat provides a simple way to repeat *COUNT* times a command *CMD*.
```shell
rpt -n COUNT CMD
```
My claim is that it is simpler to write than the following :
```shell
i=0
while [ $i -lt COUNT]; do
CMD
i=$((i+1))
done
```
Especially from the command line. The use of `rpt` also makes the execution
slightly faster, but performance is not the main goal.
