I might do that. But, its not the R level since those features already exist; I¹m just mimicking them at the C++ level. The R transcript was a proof of concept to make sure this was actually doable. >I really do not see how that __fits into them mission of giving a simple >and >useful mechanism__ for access the R RNGs accessible via the R C API.

Well, it might be relevant to other functions, but as you have guessed it is mainly an issue with RNGs. >In case you want a C(++) level to vector argument mean and sd, you can do >exactly the same but at a different layer.

And perhaps others have wondered as well. Anyways, it is trivial to fix as I¹ve shown. I¹m wondering if these can be generated via the pre-processor since they are rather simple. If I make any progress, maybe it would be worth a Gallery post.
