Description
There are three methods for creating a monomial ideal using the package RandomIdeals, but only one returns an ideal with type MonomialIdeal.
i1 : loadPackage "RandomIdeals";
i2 : R = kk[a];
i3 : I = randomMonomialIdeal ({2},R);
***** there are only 1 monomials of degree 2
o3 : Ideal of R
i4 : J = randomSquareFreeMonomialIdeal ({1},R);
***** there are only 1 square-free monomials of degree 1
o4 : Ideal of R
i5 : K = randomShellableIdeal (R, 0, 1);
o5 : MonomialIdeal of R
Is there a good reason for the first two methods not to return a MonomialIdeal "out of the box"?

Research direction
Read M2/Macaulay2/packages/RandomIdeals.m2 and inspect the definitions of randomMonomialIdeal, randomSquareFreeMonomialIdeal, and randomShellableIdeal. Determine whether their differing return types are intentional; done means documenting the rationale or making the relevant behavior consistent, then checking the examples in the issue.
