     simpleRand(x, y = "notused")

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

       x: The number of random numbers to generate. 

       y: Not used in the base implementation, but various exercises
          involve making use of this. 

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     An interface, via '.Call' to R's underlying RNG cod.

_V_a_l_u_e:
