Great point. Definitely looks like a docstring error here.

I was speaking somewhat off topic. What I had in mind was the proposed 
solution in the link to the other github issue 
(https://github.com/QuantEcon/QuantEcon.jl/issues/64#issuecomment-130149602).

Here for some reason I could call `using Distributions` without any 
problems. But then when I called `using QuantEcon` it would complain that 
Distributions couldn't load. Somehow explicitly calling 
`Base.compilecache(:Distributions)` made it so we could call `using 
QuantEcon` without a problem... I can't really explain why that worked, but 
to me it feels like we might have been hitting an edge case bug with the 
precompilation feature.
