Without knowing that this was an established technique, I had been
thinking about this for quite a while. I am thrilled to know that it
actually works, and would be _very_ interested about having this in the
scikit. Let's discuss it at the sprints.

With regards to the random sampling, I am a bit worried that the results
hold for a fair amount of points, and with a small amount of points
(which is typically the situation in which many of us hide) it becomes
very sensitive to the seed.

Thanks for your input, James,

Gael
