-- required to be defined by who is using this:
-- minargs
-- maxargs
-- ncases
-- types
-- seed

-- optional:
-- rtypes (if not set, it'll be 'v'..types)
-- ellipsis

-- optional (when including aggregate generation):
-- minaggrfields
-- maxaggrfields
-- maxarraylen
-- arraydice
-- maxaggrdepth
-- reqaggrinsig
