 of a string to produce a single string), and C<xx> (which creates a list of
 repetitions of a list or item).  C<"foo" xx *> represents an arbitrary
 number of copies, useful for initializing lists.  The left side of
-an C<xx> is evaluated only once.  (To call a block repeatedly, use a C<map>
-instead.)
+an C<xx> is re-evaluated for each copy; use a temporary to force a single
