Re: Re: I made this mistake using uniformIntRand. Do you think it shouldwarn me?

FWIW, this swapping behavior without warning messages was accepted at the time 
it was implemented. The benefit is that certain drone-using persons don't have 
their models prematurely halted because they produced error output. Though 
Marcus is perhaps right that models which require this swapping are in some 
sense 'broken'.

I'll change the behavior if there's a great clamor for it.

I cast one vote for getting rid of the swap behavior.  It was hard to
track down.
