Not really as
i) base R will not have dependencies outside of it
Indeed, I'm looking for one that can be copied into base R. The author
can retain copyright, but we need to be able to offer it under our GPL
license.
ii) more importantly, Duncan asked for a good example of a "consistent" (as

*varies* answers to be less predictable.
Yes, there are reasons to have questions that vary randomly, but I think
they don't apply to the situations where I want to use this.
