John, as a result of your question I realized that our hardware does do
randomized sampling that I was not aware of. I will use the extensibility of
the API and implement a random keyword, that will be offloaded in our
hardware. Those changes will be sent on v2.

Eventually, your question was very relevant :) Thanks!

Perhaps I am missing the point but why not just make random the default and
implement the inverse as an extension if it turns out to be needed in
future?

+1 just implement the random one.
