 Currently there's a minor inconsistency: one can write

 {{{#!c++
 #include <boost/random/normal_distribution.hpp>

 // ...

 normal_distribution<> nd;
 }}}

 because there's a `using random::normal_distribution;` statement in the
 `boost` namespace. However, for chi squared, there's no such thing, so one
 needs to add using-statement or qualification.

 (I didn't look at other distributions, maybe they lack these things as
 well.)
