These functions create objects of class distribution and mvdistribution

1 2	mvdistribution(RName, ...) distribution(RName, ...)

`RName`	A string holding the R suffix corresponding to the distribution, e.g. "pois" for the Poisson distribution
`...`	Additional parameters that parametrize the distribution

In general any distribution with a corresponding sampling function can be used. This function should have the name given in RName but preceded with an "r", e.g. rnorm for the normal distribution. When the constructors are called, they check that the given sampling function exists and that it takes the arguments that were passed in the ....

An object of class distribution or mvdistribution.
