\description{
  \code{rep2abI(x, times)} conceptually computes
  \code{\link{rep.int}(x, times)} but with an
  \code{\linkS4class{abIndex}} class result.
}
\usage{
rep2abI(x, times)
}
\arguments{
  \item{x}{numeric vector}
  \item{times}{integer (valued) scalar: the number of repetitions}
}

\value{
  a vector of \code{\link{class}} \code{\linkS4class{abIndex}}

  \code{\link{rep.int}()}, the base function;
