Description
Background
What is your motivation?
I'm writing a simulation and the truncated distributions is a great convenience for sampling
parameters.
What type of application is this? (E.g. cryptography, game, numerical simulation)
Statistics, numerical simulation, etc.
Feature request
I would like to have truncated distributions as part of (perhaps) rand_distr or it could be a new
crate rand_trunc maybe. I'm asking for some guidance here to figure out the best course of action.

Research direction
The issue names the rand and rand_distr crates and proposes a new rand_trunc crate, but mentions no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the existing crate boundaries and distribution APIs, then clarify the intended ownership and scope; done would be an agreed design and implementation plan for truncated distributions.
