Idea: Implement vkm's own sequential rejection algorithm generically for Venture
Benefit: A presumably more scalable (than naive global rejection sampling) generic inference algorithm that also guarantees samples from the exact posterior.

Presumably will not handle continuous latent variables; oh well.
Suggestion: don't bother with the adaptation, at least at first.
