Fix error noted by Gerrit Holl (old; had been buried in my INBOX):
sequence repitition works just fine with long integers now, so we
should not say that only plain integers are allowed.

  The \code{*} (multiplication) operator yields the product of its
  arguments.  The arguments must either both be numbers, or one argument
! must be a plain integer and the other must be a sequence.  In the
! former case, the numbers are converted to a common type and then
! multiplied together.  In the latter case, sequence repetition is
  performed; a negative repetition factor yields an empty sequence.
