What I'd _really_ like to see is something which would allow you to generate a 
range of random numbers with an expression like,

     auto rr = randomRange!distribution(/* distribution parameters */);

or,

     auto rr = randomRange!distribution(size_t n, /* distribution parameters */);

... which would generate you either an infinite or length-n range of random 
numbers generated by the specified distribution, with the passed parameters.

So, you could call e.g.,

     auto rr = randomRange!(uniform!"()")(100, 0.0, 1.0);

     auto rr = randomRange!pareto(100, alpha, sigma);

     auto rr = randomRange!exponential(lambda);

... etc.  But I'm not sure if this is feasible.
