Hi all, specifically Sean,

For the simulation I am current working on, we need to schedule agents
to act based on certain probability distributions (in particular,
exponential)... Now, I know that I can do this manually by repeatedly
calling scheduleOnce, or make a wrapper agent to execute an action N ~
Poi(L) times each step, but I was wondering if it might be possible in
a future release to get a schedule method that takes in a distribution
(based off the CERN libraries, maybe) and reschedules the associated
agent based on that.

Anyone else think such a method would be useful?
