In my testing, the worker/wrapper transformation applied here
significantly decreases the number of allocations performed when using
replicateM_. Additionally, this version of the function behaves
correctly for negative numbers (namely, it will behave the same as
replicateM_ 0, which is what previous versions of base have done).
