There isn't a built in

Do library functions count?

Yes, great that normalrand is included.
However ... when I did:
load 'stats'
NB. scratch my head and wonder what verbs are included.
NB. look up in DOJ NDX under Scripts - happily near "stats"
NB. which doesn't appear...
load 'scriptdoc'
scriptdoc 'stats'
|value error: wdisparent
| wdisparent'sdoc'
NB. this happens in j601 and j602 running jconsole
.... hard to find one's way sometimes.
