Is there a more idiomatic way to do `for (i in 0 until someValue)`?  `repeat(someValue)`?

Depends on the semantics. If `i` is an index into something, then repeat doesn’t convey what’s important. If you just need to do something `someValue` times, then yes, `repeat` is better.

I thought repeat passed the index into the lambda. wouldn't the end result be similar?

assuming it was being used to replaced "0 until"

While end result might be the same, I think it is important to convey proper meaning, and it depends on the context. E.g. if `someValue` is `someCollection.size` for example, it could be better to iterate on `someCollection.indicies`

Also `repeat` _heavily_ suggests the code in the block does the same every time.

Which is not the case if you're indexing into a collection.
