Adding a keyword is not difficult, and would avoid confusion of the
final users. (if you use the same keyword all over, we will end up with:
"a rose is a rose is a rose is a rose..." which are nice but painful to
understand)

repeat is currently used in warp, so it might be best to avoid it.
And it should be a name, which "repeat" is not.

due to mathematical background about infinity, what about:
aleph1, aleph2 & aleph3 ?
(well, strictly, the first one would be aleph0, but the number might be
clearer as the dimension... or not, aleph0/1/2 might be fine too)

duplicate ?
replica ?

I'm not sure the transformation from 3D filling to cubic would be
obvious (and you might need holes on some places, and it might be better
to code it once for each filling rather than applying specific
transforms all the time)
