Re: calling macros single time and multiple times - what's difference?

I think this is because when Vim does <number>@<register> it looks up
<register> just once, duplicates it <number> times and then executes it.
I don't think it counts <number> separate applications of the @
operator, i.e. it doesn't look up and execute the register <number>
times.
