Re: [Numpy-discussion] Complex Normal Generator in NEP-19 extension
Certainly have done `np.random.normal(2*n).view('c16')` very often. Makes
sense to just allow it to be generated directly. -- Marten

[Numpy-discussion] Complex Normal Generator in NEP-19 extension
One part of moving randomgen closer to fulfilling NEP-19 is rationalizing the API, especially new features not in RandomState. Matti Picus has made a lot of progress in getting it integrated, especially the part of replacing RandomState shimed version of the new generator. There is only one new method in the generator, a scalar generator for complex normals. It is scalar in the sense that it is the complex version of np.random.normal, and so supports broadcasting. This was written based on some GH comments. This would be a new API and so it needs to come here first to see if there is any support. If there is support, then it will appear in the new RandomGenerator, but not the RandomState replacement. If not, then we can just delete it.
