boost::uniform_smallint<> distribution defaults its min and max 
constructor arguments to 0 and 9 respectively. While arbitrary, this may 
make sense for default constructed distributions. However, its easy to 
trigger an assert at runtime by calling its constructor with a single 
value (min > 9). Could this constructor be splitted into a default 
constructor and one that takes *both* min and max? I tried to check 
whether the standard mandates this, but couldn't find the FDIS online 
anymore (on a separate note, anyone knows where to find it?).
