### Main idea:
This is an alternative to inserting numeric ranges with macros (i.e. `F3 F3`).
The advantages are:
1. Brevity: consider `F3 F3 SPC M-1 M-0 F4` vs. `m10 C-;`.
2. Much better undo context: a single `C-_` will undo the whole thing
and allow you to edit the code. With macros you'd have to undo multiple
times and restart from scratch, instead of tweaking what you just invoked.
3. The ability to insert the same number several times in a single iteration,
and transform it with `format`-style expressions
e.g. `m6\n15%s=0%o=0x%x` will expand to
6=06=0x6
7=07=0x7
8=010=0x8
9=011=0x9
10=012=0xa
11=013=0xb
12=014=0xc
13=015=0xd
14=016=0xe
15=017=0xf
4. Last but not least, the ability to transform the number with lisp expressions.
For instance:
1. `m5 10*xx` -> `25 36 49 64 81 100`
2. `m5 10*xx|0x%x` -> `0x19 0x24 0x31 0x40 0x51 0x64`
3. `m10+x?a%c` -> `a b c d e f g h i j k`
4. `m10+x?A%c` -> `A B C D E F G H I J K`
5. `m97,105stringx` -> `a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i`
6. `m97,102stringxupcasex` -> `aA,bB,cC,dD,eE,fF`
7. `m,3|%(+ x x) and %(* x x) and %s` -> `0 and 0 and 0,2 and 1 and 1,4 and 4 and 2,6 and 9 and 3,8 and 16 and 4,10 and 25 and 5`
### Use in conjunction with `org-mode`:

You can even schedule and deadline:
m\n8|**** TODO Learning from Data Week %(+ x 2) \nSCHEDULED: <%(date "Oct 7" (* x 7))> DEADLINE: <%(date "Oct 14" (* x 7))>
**** TODO Learning from Data Week 2

Here's how to schedule a task that repeats Monday through Friday at 10:00, every week:
m0\n4|** TODO Something work-related\nSCHEDULED: <%(date "mon" x) 10:00 +1w>
** TODO Something work-related
SCHEDULED: <2013-11-04 Mon 10:00 +1w>
** TODO Something work-related
SCHEDULED: <2013-11-05 Tue 10:00 +1w>
** TODO Something work-related
SCHEDULED: <2013-11-06 Wed 10:00 +1w>
** TODO Something work-related
SCHEDULED: <2013-11-07 Thu 10:00 +1w>
** TODO Something work-related
SCHEDULED: <2013-11-08 Fri 10:00 +1w>
