runif limited precision

I don't agree.  If you add too much technical detail to a topic, then people
don't "work through it".  I'd say the r<dist> pages generally give enough
detail now, but not too much.  If you add every detail that might interest
someone somewhere, then they'd all be hard to read.

Duncan, Daniel,

Thanks for your responses.

I agree that it's a delicate balance between too little and too much
information on individual documentation pages -- especially when, as
in this case, a number of different functions (r<dist>) share some
content (RNG).  That said, I find in general that R documentation
pages are somewhat on the "too little" side. In particular, I'd find
it useful if there were more references to synthetic overviews: a link
from the connection page to an overview of I/O; a link from the runif
page to an overview of distributions; etc.
