Hi Brad,

My $0.001 :

I like the idea of making get* and fillRandom generic. Is there really a
significant advantage to making this generic at the RandomStream level
instead of the get function level? Most random number generators generate
integers that get rescaled to eg. reals, so I'd think there is less of a
gain to putting this at the stream level.

I don't have a particularly strong opinion on parSafe. Personally, I can't
see myself writing code that switches between the two --- I suspect I'd
just eat the overhead for the gain in simplicity.

Cheers,
-- Nikhil
