You can't.  This is not documented yet because I'm not yet sure 
that it's useful, or should be retained.

It can't fall within the usual "smpl" framework, because it may 
create a superset rather than a subset of the original data, 
depending on the value of n.

I tend to think that this is better handled via the resample() 
function as applied to matrices.
