Re: Short-cut for reiteration, via postfix usage of Table as pure

I do not want to offend you.

Is this a contest laziness vs. readability?

There are options for some functions as strings like "AlternatingSigns", 
"ExtrapolatingOscillatory" and others where Ctrl-K does not help and 
"Table" is too complicated????

shaking the head,
Peter
