Well, implementing the translator wasn't exactly trivial, but in general
I don't think numgen is particularly hard to use. Of course an explicit
probability mode might make things easier, but then I guess it wouldn't
fit into the LHS/RHS scheme anymore. So I personally don't care, but if
you see use in implementing it just let me know and I'll adjust the
converter to make use of it. :)
Cheers, Phil
