Yes, this is very similar to what I want to achieve. One of the main differences is that 'replicate' builds up a list of all call results, and for my measurements I want to avoid the resulting (time and memory) overhead. But I did look at the implementation of 'replicate' and this is where I took the trick of using eval.parent and substitute from.
