_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Generates pseudo-random numbers from a wrapped Cauchy
     distribution.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     rwrpcauchy(n, location=0, rho=exp(-1))

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

       n: number of random variables to generate.

location: modal angle in radians of the wrapped Cauchy distribution.

     rho: concentration parameter.  rho must be between 0 and 1.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     n random variables are generated from a Cauchy distribution with
     location parameter location, and concentration parameter
     -log(rho).  The function returns these values modulo 2*pi.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     Returns a vector of n independent random variables generated from
     a wrapped Cauchy distribution.
