The way to ask questions in the Wiki is to micro-vandalize it :-)))))))

Since anyone can edit, if I don't know how to use some function,
I can _create_ this page and fill it with my doubts - in the hope
that someone will then fix it latter.

Example:

rnorm

This is a very weird function, because things like rnorm(0.975)
should return 1.96, but returns numeric(0)

And then someone would either rename the page to qnorm, or write
a new rnorm page.
