Description
Rejected samples are often very useful for Rao-Blackwellization, or even just for identifying where the sampler is having trouble. Maybe we should have some way to return and store rejected samples?

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by surveying the sampler and sample-storage interfaces, then determine how rejected samples should be represented and returned for Rao-Blackwellization; done means the behavior and API are specified and covered by tests.
