Hmm. I'm not sure I would do that.  For one thing, even when using the
Black-Scholes model, one might want to use a different curve for the
discount; asking the process for the risk-free rate would prevent that.
Furthermore, I'm not sure that a riskFreeRate method belongs to the
generic StochasticProcess interface.
