Limit ng-repeat boundary (ng-repeat Extension)

[hsdk123]

ng-repeat currently works in the following:
[span ng-repeat="value in values"]
{{$index}}
[/span]

where the specific element that has the ng-repeat is repeated.
The problem arises though when we want to repeat not just one specific element, but multiple. For example, if I wanted to repeat the following:

[span] {{$index}} [/span]
[div] {{$index}} [div]

I'd have to create some sort of container specifically for the ng-repeat. The thing is, the container itself will also get repeated. I feel this container making is redundant and adds unnecessary layers to the html.

It'd be nice if we could have an extension to the current ng-repeat along these lines:

[div ng-repeat-inner="square in squares"]

[span] {{square.index}} [/span]
[a] asd [/a]

[/div]

JSFiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/fZz3W/12/

Where the "ng-repeat-inner" would only repeat the descendants within itself, not including. This would save us from having to make superfluous containers purely for repetition.
