Re: [patch] shuf.c: Permutation With Replacement

[Alexander Horn]

I have send out an email earlier this week that sketches out changes
to the `shuf' program that would allow for random permutations with
replacement ("--with-replacement" switch).

For example:

> shuf <<EOF
> clubs
> hearts
> diamonds
> spades
> EOF

> might output:
>
> clubs
> diamonds
> spades
> diamonds

Please let me know what you think of this feature. If we can add it to
`shuf', I would be happy to clean up the patch.

Thanks,
