[R] Analog to matlab repmat function

[Gabor Grothendieck]

Actually google does understand R.  For example,


1. google for:

   R

and you will get the R home page.as first hit

2. google for

   R repmat

and you will find Robin Hankin's lexicon that translates between
R and octave/maxima which includes a repmat function as 7th hit.
