    – status: partly implemented, but still needs serious work
    * To use the special representation of task '''Replicate''' most effectively, we would ''again'' need different views on arrays together with a cost function and optimisation rules taking the cost function into account.  That requires a lot of work!
    * We decided that, for the moment, Roman will first try to integrate the replication representation directly and see how far that gets us.  Maybe it helps at least with some examples and gives us something somewhat usable more quickly.
+   * However, before any further major changes to the library, Roman needs to first re-arrange things such that the library boilerplate is generated, instead of being hardcode; otherwise, changes require a lot of tiresome code editing.  Unfortunately, that lands us in build system hell again, as we can only use TH if package dph is built in stage2.  (Is this easy(?) to achieve with the current build system, or do we want the new one for that?)
