Yes, that's the only way.</p>
<p>

Why? Is it only for cosmetic reasons, or for technical reasons?</p>
<p>Yes, [clone foo 20 20] might look ugly, but it does the job.
Personally, I haven't ever needed the number of cloned instances
inside an instance... but if you need it frequently, you can make
a feature request on GitHub.</p>
