Additional parameters that parametrize the distribution
Details
In general any distribution with a corresponding sampling function can be used. This function should
have the name given in RName but preceded with an "r", e.g. rnorm for the normal
distribution. When the constructors are called, they check that the given sampling function exists
and that it takes the arguments that were passed in the ....
Value
An object of class distribution or mvdistribution.

## Not run:
