Vertical repetition is primarily for large scale repetition--such as
repetition or whole functions or class definitions.  Horizontal repetition
is better (IMO) for small things like "class T0, class T1, class T2" (etc.).

There isn't a paper about *how* it is working.  However, the docs include a
paper on how to use it.

Let me know if you need any help...
