I think what he's referring to by "stretching" is the Sonar way of click-dragging an audio snippet to fill a region... which is basically what you suggested doing in the rest of your reply.

The only real difference is that in RB the extra step of saving the snippet as a loop is required before you can use it to fill a region. In Sonar you can declare any audio or MIDI snippet to be a "groove clip", and then as you drag it, it automatically replicates itself seamlessly as a loop.

I like the fact that the RB way is consistent with the way all types of sound are generated (real tracks, user tracks, loops, midi tracks etc)... it is a consistent way of doing business across the board.
