Right. These are inconsistent. This should be fixed. Can't we just use a
default argument like
auto randomSample(R, Random)(R r, size_t n, Random gen =
Random(unpredictableSeed));
Currently the documentation does not even state what is difference
between the versions accepting a random generator vs. the ones without a
random generator.
... so can we agree that a given random sample should _always_ lazily evaluate
to the same output, whether or not it's been given a specified RNG?
i.e. that
auto sample = randomSample(iota(0, 100), 5);
writeln(sample);
writeln(sample);
writeln(sample);
... should produce 3 times the same output?
If so I'll get to work on a bug report and a patch set and unittest.
