We could change the defaults:
(setq kmacro-repeat-no-prefix nil)
(setq kmacro-call-repeat-key nil)
Then the "non-spirit" behaviour would have to be enabled explicitly
by a user. And we wouldn't have to write a lot of new code for the
(as you say) rarely used kmacro history feature.

True, it could work.
But I would prefer if we just change the defaults (and fix the docs)
as described above. Would that be ok?
