+high quality random numbers that follow either a uniform or normal
+distribution.  The generated numbers are suitable for use in
+statistical applications.
+
+The uniform PRNG uses Marsaglia's MWC256 (also known as MWC8222)
+multiply-with-carry generator, which has a period of 2^{8222} and
+fares well in tests of randomness.  It is also extremely fast,
+between 2 and 3 times faster than the Mersenne Twister.")
