When a function is used incorrectly, a panic is appropriate. If the count comes from an untrusted source, the caller should check that it is non-negative (and not too large) before calling Repeat, rather than checking an error afterward.
Using a uint would actually be worse, since uint(int(-1)) is an extremely large number. Andy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
