Frankly, it always confuses me when i have to code a thick line using
"." - it's very unintuitive.  What about changing this to some other
character?  Maybe uppercase i?  It looks "thicker" - unless you use a
sans-serif font...

I'm not knowledgeable enough to answer this question.

Is this code supposed to work with 2.15.36?  I get some warnings:

warning: cannot find property type-check for `startRepeatType'
(translation-type?).  perhaps a typing error?
warning: doing assignment anyway
warning: cannot find property type-check for `endRepeatType'
(translation-type?).  perhaps a typing error?
warning: doing assignment anyway

looks like something related to http://codereview.appspot.com/6210049,
which was created after 2.15.36.

cheers,
