Why?  The proposed behavior is the same as sugar's rnorm, etc.: a utility
function that uses R's RNG -- it's the
user's responsibility to properly scope the RNG.

When time permits, I'll add Romain's comments on sugarizing sample (which I
*think* I understand), along with some testing code.

best,
Christian
