[Metalog Distribution](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metalog_distribution)
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
**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**
A full Javascript library that accesses most of the probabilistic functionality of Squiggle, but can be used directly in javascript functions.

**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.
