Comment (by troyer):

 Actually for 3 dimensions there is a perfect trigonometric version as
 well. For more than 20 dimensions however, the rejection based methods
 start taking forever. A separate distribution with compile-time fixed
 dimension and optimization for low dimensions will certainly be
 interesting though.
