Conversation
Prior to `ndarray` 0.17, the `RandomExt` trait exposed by `ndarray-rand` contained methods for both creating new arrays randomly whole-cloth (`random_using`) and sampling from existing arrays (`sample_axis_using`). With the introduction of reference types in `ndarray` 0.17, users should be able to sample from `ArrayRef` instances as well. We choose to expose an additional extension trait, `RandomRefExt`, that provides this functionality. We keep the methods on the old trait for backwards compatibility, but collapse the implementation and documentation to the new trait to maintain a single source of truth.
