$(RED Disclaimer:) The random number generators and API provided in this
module are not designed to be cryptographically secure, and are therefore
unsuitable for cryptographic or security-related purposes such as generating
authentication tokens or network sequence numbers. For such needs, please use a
reputable cryptographic library instead.

The new-style generator objects hold their own state so they are
immune of threading issues. The generators feature a number of
well-known and well-documented methods of generating random
numbers. An overall fast and reliable means to generate random numbers
is the $(D_PARAM Mt19937) generator, which derives its name from
"$(LINK2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mersenne_Twister, Mersenne Twister)
with a period of 2 to the power of
19937". In memory-constrained situations,
$(LINK2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_congruential_generator,
linear congruential generators) such as `MinstdRand0` and `MinstdRand` might be
useful. The standard library provides an alias $(D_PARAM Random) for
whichever generator it considers the most fit for the target
environment.

In addition to random number generators, this module features
distributions, which skew a generator's output statistical
distribution in various ways. So far the uniform distribution for
integers and real numbers have been implemented.

/++
Xorshift generator.
Implemented according to $(HTTP www.jstatsoft.org/v08/i14/paper, Xorshift RNGs)
(Marsaglia, 2003) when the size is small. For larger sizes the generator
uses Sebastino Vigna's optimization of using an index to avoid needing
to rotate the internal array.

Period is `2 ^^ nbits - 1` except for a legacy 192-bit uint version (see
note below).

Params:
    UIntType = Word size of this xorshift generator and the return type
               of `opCall`.
    nbits = The number of bits of state of this generator. This must be
           a positive multiple of the size in bits of UIntType. If
           nbits is large this struct may occupy slightly more memory
           than this so it can use a circular counter instead of
           shifting the entire array.
    sa = The direction and magnitude of the 1st shift. Positive
         means left, negative means right.
    sb = The direction and magnitude of the 2nd shift. Positive
         means left, negative means right.
    sc = The direction and magnitude of the 3rd shift. Positive
         means left, negative means right.

Note:
For historical compatibility when `nbits == 192` and `UIntType` is `uint`
a legacy hybrid PRNG is used consisting of a 160-bit xorshift combined
with a 32-bit counter. This combined generator has period equal to the
least common multiple of `2^^160 - 1` and `2^^32`.

Previous versions of `XorshiftEngine` did not provide any mechanism to specify
the directions of the shifts, taking each shift as an unsigned magnitude.
For backwards compatibility, because three shifts in the same direction
cannot result in a full-period XorshiftEngine, when all three of `sa`, `sb`,
`sc, are positive `XorshiftEngine` treats them as unsigned magnitudes and
uses shift directions to match the old behavior of `XorshiftEngine`.

Not every set of shifts results in a full-period xorshift generator.
The template does not currently at compile-time perform a full check
for maximum period but in a future version might reject parameters
resulting in shorter periods.

/**
A "good" seed for initializing random number engines. Initializing
with $(D_PARAM unpredictableSeed) makes engines generate different
random number sequences every run.

This function utilizes the system $(I cryptographically-secure pseudo-random
number generator (CSPRNG)) or $(I pseudo-random number generator (PRNG))
where available and implemented (currently `arc4random` on applicable BSD
systems or `getrandom` on Linux) to generate “high quality” pseudo-random
numbers – if possible.
As a consequence, calling it may block under certain circumstances (typically
during early boot when the system's entropy pool has not yet been
initialized).

On x86 CPU models which support the `RDRAND` instruction, that will be used
when no more specialized randomness source is implemented.

In the future, further platform-specific PRNGs may be incorporated.

Warning:
$(B This function must not be used for cryptographic purposes.)
Despite being implemented for certain targets, there are no guarantees
that it sources its randomness from a CSPRNG.
The implementation also includes a fallback option that provides very little
randomness and is used when no better source of randomness is available or
integrated on the target system.
As written earlier, this function only aims to provide randomness for seeding
ordinary (non-cryptographic) PRNG engines.

Returns:
A single unsigned integer seed value, different on each successive call
Note:
In general periodically 'reseeding' a PRNG does not improve its quality
and in some cases may harm it. For an extreme example the Mersenne
Twister has `2 ^^ 19937 - 1` distinct states but after `seed(uint)` is
called it can only be in one of `2 ^^ 32` distinct states regardless of
how excellent the source of entropy is.

// Implementation of uniform for integral types
/+ Description of algorithm and suggestion of correctness:

The modulus operator maps an integer to a small, finite space. For instance, `x
% 3` will map whatever x is into the range [0 .. 3). 0 maps to 0, 1 maps to 1, 2
maps to 2, 3 maps to 0, and so on infinitely. As long as the integer is
uniformly chosen from the infinite space of all non-negative integers then `x %
3` will uniformly fall into that range.

(Non-negative is important in this case because some definitions of modulus,
namely the one used in computers generally, map negative numbers differently to
(-3 .. 0]. `uniform` does not use negative number modulus, thus we can safely
ignore that fact.)

The issue with computers is that integers have a finite space they must fit in,
and our uniformly chosen random number is picked in that finite space. So, that
method is not sufficient. You can look at it as the integer space being divided
into "buckets" and every bucket after the first bucket maps directly into that
first bucket. `[0, 1, 2]`, `[3, 4, 5]`, ... When integers are finite, then the
last bucket has the chance to be "incomplete": `[uint.max - 3, uint.max - 2,
uint.max - 1]`, `[uint.max]` ... (the last bucket only has 1!). The issue here
is that _every_ bucket maps _completely_ to the first bucket except for that
last one. The last one doesn't have corresponding mappings to 1 or 2, in this
case, which makes it unfair.

So, the answer is to simply "reroll" if you're in that last bucket, since it's
the only unfair one. Eventually you'll roll into a fair bucket. Simply, instead
of the meaning of the last bucket being "maps to `[0]`", it changes to "maps to
`[0, 1, 2]`", which is precisely what we want.

To generalize, `upperDist` represents the size of our buckets (and, thus, the
exclusive upper bound for our desired uniform number). `rnum` is a uniformly
random number picked from the space of integers that a computer can hold (we'll
say `UpperType` represents that type).

We'll first try to do the mapping into the first bucket by doing `offset = rnum
% upperDist`. We can figure out the position of the front of the bucket we're in
by `bucketFront = rnum - offset`.

If we start at `UpperType.max` and walk backwards `upperDist - 1` spaces, then
the space we land on is the last acceptable position where a full bucket can
fit:

---
   bucketFront     UpperType.max
      v                 v
[..., 0, 1, 2, ..., upperDist - 1]
      ^~~ upperDist - 1 ~~^
---

If the bucket starts any later, then it must have lost at least one number and
at least that number won't be represented fairly.

---
                bucketFront     UpperType.max
                     v                v
[..., upperDist - 1, 0, 1, 2, ..., upperDist - 2]
          ^~~~~~~~ upperDist - 1 ~~~~~~~^
---

Hence, our condition to reroll is
`bucketFront > (UpperType.max - (upperDist - 1))`

Get a random index into a list of weights corresponding to each index

Similar to rolling a die with relative probabilities stored in `proportions`.
Returns the index in `proportions` that was chosen.

Note:
    Usually, dice are 'fair', meaning that each side has equal probability
    to come up, in which case `1 + uniform(0, 6)` can simply be used.
    In future Phobos versions, this function might get renamed to something like
    `weightedChoice` to avoid confusion.

    proportions = forward range or list of individual values

                  with which to choose the corresponding index

Returns:
    Random variate drawn from the index values
    [0, ... `proportions.length` - 1], with the probability
    of getting an individual index value `i` being proportional to
    `proportions[i]`.

Returns:
    Range whose elements consist of the elements of `r`,

// RandomSample
/**
Selects a random subsample out of `r`, containing exactly `n`
elements. The order of elements is the same as in the original
range. The total length of `r` must be known. If `total` is
passed in, the total number of sample is considered to be $(D
total). Otherwise, `RandomSample` uses `r.length`.

Params:
    r = range to sample from
    n = number of elements to include in the sample;
        must be less than or equal to the total number
        of elements in `r` and/or the parameter
        `total` (if provided)
    total = (semi-optional) number of elements of `r`
            from which to select the sample (counting from
            the beginning); must be less than or equal to
            the total number of elements in `r` itself.
            May be omitted if `r` has the `.length`
            property and the sample is to be drawn from
            all elements of `r`.
    rng = (optional) random number generator to use;
          if not specified, defaults to `rndGen`

Returns:
    Range whose elements consist of a randomly selected subset of
    the elements of `r`, in the same order as these elements
    appear in `r` itself.  Will be a forward range if both `r`
    and `rng` are forward ranges, an input range otherwise.

`RandomSample` implements Jeffrey Scott Vitter's Algorithm D
(see Vitter $(HTTP dx.doi.org/10.1145/358105.893, 1984), $(HTTP
dx.doi.org/10.1145/23002.23003, 1987)), which selects a sample
of size `n` in O(n) steps and requiring O(n) random variates,
regardless of the size of the data being sampled.  The exception
to this is if traversing k elements on the input range is itself
an O(k) operation (e.g. when sampling lines from an input file),
in which case the sampling calculation will inevitably be of
O(total).

RandomSample will throw an exception if `total` is verifiably
less than the total number of elements available in the input,
or if $(D n > total).

If no random number generator is passed to `randomSample`, the
thread-global RNG rndGen will be used internally.
