This makes it seem like Uniform sampler is a 'known' thing. But it is not,
either by explanation or reference to where it is explained ( as we have done
referring to algorithms before ).
Is there another type of sampler?
Somewhere ( I'm not sure where ) we should say:
"A sampler is a xxxxx that is | does | acts as xxxxx for the sample
functions. The default has these properties, but you can override that in init"
Why even mention the Universal?
