How do I insert one hundred zeroes in a buffer?  For any non-digit character I
just do "C-u 1 0 0 <ch>", but of course, this does not work for digits.  How
can it be done, less of typing 100 zeroes manually.

Naturally, I could say "C-x ( 0 C-u 9 9 C-x )" but what if I just spend half
an hour making the keyboard macro of a lifetime (You know -- one of those
thing you don't save).

I know it is a silly question.  I just wondered.  

BTW.  I am using Gnu 18.50.
