URandSel - Randomly select elements from matrix, elements are not replenished.

Combining CombVec and RandDim
Using CombVec and RandDim, it is very simple to generate all trials
in an experiment with a factorial design and then randomize these
trials:
cond_a = [1 2]; cond_b = [120 180]; ntrial = 2;
trial = CombVec(cond_a,cond_b);
trial =
1 2 1 2
120 120 180 180

trial = repmat(trial,1,ntrial); % each combination of conditions occurs ntrial times
trial(end+1,:) = [1:size(trial,2)]; % append trial number
trial = RandDim(trial,2); % shuffle trial order

trial =
2 1 1 2 1 1 2 2
120 180 180 180 120 120 120 180
6 3 7 8 5 1 2 4
