On a closely related topic, I've got a big chunk of the tr1::random stuff and 
it's been sitting here festering on my disk for ages while my attention has 
been drawn to more urgent (paid) tasks.  Should I submit the parts I have now

of <random> passing all testcases on the basis that someone who includes that 
header should get everything they expect?
