Thanks.

Please use @code{repr}, without the parens.  GNU Coding Standards
frown on using the latter to indicate a function:

     Please do not write '()' after a function name just to indicate it is
  a function.  'foo ()' is not a function, it is a function call with no
  arguments.

Otherwise OK.
