Ok I remember, Pareto is actually Lomax or Pareto second kind, and should be renamed. The proposal was to rename the current pareto to pareto2 and create a new pareto that corrects location by one. In the meantime I discovered that Lomax is actually nicer to work with than Pareto one, so it's mainly a question of terminology/names and documentation. Just calling it pareto is very misleading.
