Sorry for the bombardment, but one more observation.
Artur has told us that msample meets his needs (sampling by block
not required); Ioannis has given us a quite detailed account of his
needs and my understanding is that msample would meet those too; and
Stefan has made it plain that bootstrapping (where you might well
want sampling by block) has no use for sampling without replacement.
I realize these instances don't necessarily cover all possible uses
-- and I agree that it's worth thinking ahead. But at this point I
see a fairly strong presumption that msample would be sufficient.
