Research direction

Reproduce the reported 'x'.repeat(2**32) expression and inspect the String.prototype.repeat implementation in this polyfill. Compare the result with the ECMAScript repeat behavior and add or update coverage for the large-count case; done means the expression no longer returns an empty string.
