The Repeater widget is a subclass of the Command widget; see the <!-- xref -->
Command documentation for details.  The difference is that the Repeater can call its
registered callbacks repeatedly, at an increasing rate.  The default translation
does so for the duration the user holds down pointer button 1 while the pointer
is on the Repeater.
