Univariate Distributions by non-linear Transformations
------------------------------------------------------

Univariate distributions can be generated from a non-linear transformation of an
existing univariate distribution. `Transf_gen` is a class that can generate a new
distribution from a monotonic transformation, `TransfTwo_gen` can use hump-shaped
or u-shaped transformation, such as abs or square. The remaining objects are
special cases.
