The fix-style equivalent to your repeat above, would be something like this:

repeat x = fix $ \me -> x ::: me

Interesting.

The definition of fix is small and non-recursive, in particular it is: fix f = let x = f x in x When inlined, which it -will- be if optimizations are enabled, fix (x:::) is -identical- to your definition of repeat.
