[PATCH] gas: extend \+ support to .rept

[Jan Beulich]

PR gas/31752

While not quite as macro-like as .irp / .irpc, this perhaps benefits from
supporting \+ even more than those: It allows, where desired, to get away
without maintaining an explicit count variable in source code.

Keep .rep (and custom per-arch uses of s_rept() / do_repeat()) behavior
unaltered.

   This is similar to the already existing \@ syntax, except that the count is
   maintained on a per-macro basis.

 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.
 
+Much like for macros, @code{.irp}, and @code{.irpc} the @samp{\+} sequence can
+be used to substitute in the number of iterations done so far.  In such cases,
+i.e. when any @samp{\+} character sequence is present between @code{.rept} and
+the corresponding @code{.endr}, other backslashes also need escaping by
+backslashes.  Naturally the amount of escaping necessary may increase when
+using nested constructs.
