namespace boost { namespace hana {
    //! Create a monadic structure by combining a lifted value with itself
    //! `n` times.
    //! @ingroup group-MonadPlus
    //!
    //! Given a value `x`, a non-negative `IntegralConstant` `n` and the tag
    //! of a monadic structure `M`, `replicate` creates a new monadic structure
    //! which is the result of combining `x` with itself `n` times inside the
    //! monadic structure. In other words, `replicate` simply `lift`s `x` into
    //! the monadic structure, and then combines that with itself `n` times:
    //! @code
    //!     replicate<M>(x, n) == cycle(lift<M>(x), n)
    //! @endcode
    //!
    //! If `n` is zero, then the identity of the `concat` operation is returned.
    //! In the case of sequences, this corresponds to creating a new sequence
    //! holding `n` copies of `x`.
    //!
    //!
    //! Signature
    //! ---------
    //! Given an `IntegralConstant` `C` and MonadPlus `M`, the signature is
    //! @f$ \mathtt{replicate}_M : T \times C \to M(T) @f$.
    //!
    //! @tparam M
    //! The tag of the returned monadic structure. It must be a
    //! model of the MonadPlus concept.
    //!
    //! @param x
    //! The value to lift into a monadic structure and then combine with
    //! itself.
    //!
    //! @param n
    //! A non-negative `IntegralConstant` representing the number of times to
    //! combine `lift<M>(x)` with itself. If `n == 0`, `replicate` returns
    //! `empty<M>()`.
    //!
    //!
    //! Example
    //! -------
    //! @include example/replicate.cpp
