The arguments of randint() and random_integers() do not broadcast. #6745
Description
(This is either a request for an enhancement, or a bug report--take your pick.)
Unlike most of the other distributions implemented in the RandomState class, randint and random_integers do not broadcast their arguments.
For example, hypergeometric broadcasts:
In [87]: rng = np.random.RandomState()
In [88]: rng.hypergeometric(10, [10, 20, 30], 10)
Out[88]: array([6, 2, 1])
But randint only accepts scalar integers:
In [89]: rng.randint(10, [10, 100])
