 - An integer overflow in ``string repeat`` leading to a near-infinite loop has been fixed (:issue:`9899`).
 - ``string shorten`` behaves better in the presence of non-printable characters, including fixing an integer overflow that shortened strings more than intended. (:issue:`9854`)
 - ``string pad`` no longer allows non-printable characters as padding. (:issue:`9854`)
+- ``string repeat`` now allows omission of ``-n`` when the first argument is an integer. (:issue:`10282`)

 .. BEGIN DESCRIPTION
 
-``string repeat`` repeats the *STRING* **-n** or **--count** times. The **-m** or **--max** option will limit the number of outputted characters (excluding the newline). This option can be used by itself or in conjunction with **--count**. If both **--count** and **--max** are present, max char will be outputed unless the final repeated string size is less than max, in that case, the string will repeat until count has been reached. Both **--count** and **--max** will accept a number greater than or equal to zero, in the case of zero, nothing will be outputed. If **-N** or **--no-newline** is given, the output won't contain a newline character at the end. Exit status: 0 if yielded string is not empty, 1 otherwise.
