## Return random integers in the range 1:@var{imax}.
##
## Additional arguments determine the shape of the return matrix.  When no
## arguments are specified a single random integer is returned.  If one
## argument @var{n} is specified then a square matrix @w{(@var{n} x @var{n})} is
## returned.  Two or more arguments will return a multi-dimensional
## matrix @w{(@var{m} x @var{n} x @dots{})}.
##
## The integer range may optionally be described by a two element matrix
## with a lower and upper bound in which case the returned integers will be
## on the interval @w{[@var{imin}, @var{imax}]}.
##
## The optional argument "@var{class}" will return a matrix of the requested
## type.  The default is "double".
##
## The following example returns 150 integers in the range 1-10.
##
## @example
## ri = randi (10, 150, 1);
## @end example
##
## Implementation Note: @code{randi} relies internally on @code{rand} which
## uses class "double" to represent numbers.  This limits the maximum
## integer (@var{imax}) and range (@var{imax} - @var{imin}) to the value
## returned by the @code{bitmax} function.  For IEEE floating point numbers
## this value is @w{@math{2^{53} - 1}}.
