The new setting would be quite incomplete if it doesn't apply to the more
general and useful duplicate-dwim as well. I can help with that but obviously
want it done properly.
It's not as straightforward as when duplicating lines because the region would
need to move, and it's a lot more complicated for rectangles. This may take
some time to get right.
In particular, the full generality of allowing an arbitrary number to be
specified adds quite some complexity here, and it's all useless gold-plating --
nobody will ever set that knob to 3, say.
