Add the Metalog distribution, and some convenient methods for generating these distributions. This might be a bit tricky because we might need or build a library to fit data. There's no Metalog javascript library yet, this would be pretty useful. There's already a Metalog library in Python, so that one could be used for inspiration.

``Distribution.smoothen(p)``
Takes a distribution and smoothens it. For example, [Elicit Forecast](https://forecast.elicit.org/) does something like this, with uniform distributions.
## Major Future Additions ## Major Future Additions
**Probabilities**
Right now Squiggle mostly works with probability distributions only, but it should also work smoothly with probabilities.
**Scoring**
Have functions to score probabilities, probability distributions, and functions that return probability distributions.
**Full javascript library** **Full javascript library**
A full Javascript library that accesses most of the probabilistic functionality of Squiggle, but can be used directly in javascript functions. A full Javascript library that accesses most of the probabilistic functionality of Squiggle, but can be used directly in javascript functions.

**Annotation** **Annotation**
It might be useful to allow people to annotate functions and variables with longer descriptions, maybe Markdown. This could very much help interpretation/analysis of these items.

**Randomness Seeds** **Randomness Seeds**
Right now, Monte Carlo simulations are totally random. It would be nicer to be able to enter a seed somehow in order to control the randomness. Or, with the same seed, the function should always return the same values. This would make debugging and similar easier. Right now, Monte Carlo simulations are totally random.
