[Laszlo-dev] onrepeat actually is getting sent

[P T Withington]

If onrepeat and onstart are always signalled together there is no  
point in having them both.  Probably you should survey the users of  
repeating animators to see what they think onstart means (start of  
each repetition or start of the animation).  It is certainly  
asymmetric that you only get one onstop.
