Tweaked version, an revision of RandomSample from std.random, is available from
https://github.com/WebDrake/RandomSample

Feedback on code details and on tests would be very welcome.  It seems about 10% 
slower than the original code I wrote, which I guess is down to factors in the 
design of the RandomSample struct.
