The docs do tell you that `rng` is an optional parameter of
`uniform`:
https://dlang.org/phobos/std_random.html#uniform
However, there are often good reasons to want to pass a specific
RNG: you may want to pick the specific RNG algorithm, and you may
want to be able to know exactly how it was seeded, e.g. if you
want to be able to reproduce the same results. I assume that
Eric's use case may reflect that.
