I don't object at the high level of reducing the verbosity of "\repeat
unfold" .  It is so cumbersome that I only use it if I have a longish
musical phrase to repeat.

My objection is that "**" is too close to "*" and could lead to more
confusion.

As I said earlier, if we can avoid the potential confusion, I can see it
being a valuable construct.
