That will use the value of x at call time, if x is simple or an
expression.

Another way is to pass x as a global variable; or, perhaps more clearly,
as a property of a global Object reserved and named, or otherwise
suitable, for the purpose.  Actually, repeatingStuff is such an Object.

That eliminates conversions to/from String, which may be inexact.
