Description: ### A better scipy.stats.uniform
        
        The `stats` sub-package of scipy is quite cool.  
        In particular, it provides dozens of probability distributions implemented with a common interface.
        
        But `scipy.stats.uniform` always bugged me.
        
        
        ```python
        >>> from scipy import stats
        >>> help(stats.uniform)
        
        A uniform continuous random variable.
          
        This distribution is constant between `loc` and ``loc + scale``.
        ```
        
        Why `loc + scale`? Why not `scale`?  
        
        So I wrote `better_uniform`: eight small lines of code that don't bug me so much.
        
        
        ```python
        from scipy import stats 
        
        class frozen(stats._distn_infrastructure.rv_frozen):
            def __init__(self, dist, *args, **kwds):
                super(frozen,self).__init__(dist, *args, **kwds)
        
        def buniform(a, b):  # b for better
            dist = stats.uniform
            dist.name = 'uniform'
            return frozen(dist, loc=a, scale=b-a)
        ```
        
        
        Now it works as I expect it to work:
        
        ```python
        d = buniform(0, 1)
        d.rvs()        # 0 < rv < 1
        d.interval(1)  # (0.0, 1.0)
        
        d = buniform(1, 2)
        d.rvs()        # 1 < rv < 2
        d.interval(1)  # (1.0, 2.0)
        
        # note the difference
        from scipy.stats import uniform
        d = uniform(1, 2)
        d.rvs()        # 1 < rv < 3
        d.interval(1)  # (1.0, 3.0)
        ```
        
        
        
        That's it!
        
        
        #### Cool, I want it!
        
        ```
        pip install better-uniform
        ```
        
        or 
        
        ```bash
        git clone https://github.com/j-faria/better_uniform.git
        cd better_uniform
        python setup.py install
        ```
        
        and later, from Python
        
        ```python
        from better_uniform import buniform
        ```
