   Status:  new                                  |   Milestone:  Boost 1.36.0
Component:  None                                 |     Version:  Boost 1.34.1
 Severity:  Problem                              |    Keywords:              
-------------------------------------------------+--------------------------
 {{{boost::random::variate_generator::operator()(T value)}}} seems to offer
 the ability to use the variate_generator with {{{std::random_shuffle()}}}.
 However, it relies on the distribution used providing a method along the
 lines of:
 {{{
 template <EngineT, ValueT>
 ValueT operator()(EngineT, ValueT);
 }}}
 According to the [http://www.boost.org/libs/random/random-

 distributions.html Boost.Random documentation] this is provided by the
 {{{uniform_int}}} distribution but the actual implementation of
 {{{uniform_int}}} has no such method.
