If non-nil, function used by repeat command to say what it's doing.

Source Code

;; Defined in /usr/src/emacs/lisp/repeat.el.gz
;; If the last command was self-insert-command, the char to be inserted was
;; obtained by that command from last-command-event, which has now been
;; clobbered by the command sequence that invoked `repeat'.  We could get it
;; from (recent-keys) & set last-command-event to that, "unclobbering" it, but
;; this has the disadvantage that if the user types a sequence of different
;; chars then invokes repeat, only the final char will be inserted.  In vi,
;; the dot command can reinsert the entire most-recently-inserted sequence.
