Then add choice explicitly.
auto choice(R)(R r) { return randomSample(r, 1, r.length).front; };

The point is that choice is a one-liner when using randomSample. It's a
special case of randomSample. But you may argue that the use case occurs
that often that it should be added. Don't know whether this is the case.
