  # like positions of missing values every time they are created. 
  #
  # Since we dont have any missing values in the data that we are creating, 
  # we set Daru.lazy_update = true so that missing data is not updated every
  # time and things happen much faster.
  #
  # In case you do have missing data and lazy_update has been set to *true*, 
  # you _SHOULD_ called `#update` on the concerned Vector or DataFrame object
  # everytime an assingment or deletion cycle is complete.

  #
  # Notice that the `clone` option has been set to *false*. This tells Daru
  # to not clone the Daru::Vectors being supplied by `rnorm`, since it would
  # be unnecessarily counter productive to clone the vectors once they have
  # been assigned to the dataframe.
