Thanks for the ideas.  I'll leave this feature request open for some time
to see if we could implement such a global and keymap-local hooks to run
on entering/leaving the repeating sequence.

The video looks nice, so you may consider creating a new package that
will do something like `objed` does, but with using `repeat-mode`.
