## Nim's standard random number generator.
##
## Its implementation is based on the ``xoroshiro128+``
## (xor/rotate/shift/rotate) library.
## * More information: http://xoroshiro.di.unimi.it/
## * C implementation: http://xoroshiro.di.unimi.it/xoroshiro128plus.c
##
## **Do not use this module for cryptographic purposes!**
##
## Basic usage
## ===========
##
## To get started, here are some examples:
##
## .. code-block::
##
##   import random
##
##   # Call randomize() once to initialize the default random number generator
##   # If this is not called, the same results will occur every time these
##   # examples are run
##   randomize()
##
##   # Pick a number between 0 and 100
##   let num = rand(100)
##   echo num
##
##   # Roll a six-sided die
##   let roll = rand(1..6)
##   echo roll
##
##   # Pick a marble from a bag
##   let marbles = ["red", "blue", "green", "yellow", "purple"]
##   let pick = sample(marbles)
##   echo pick
##
##   # Shuffle some cards
##   var cards = ["Ace", "King", "Queen", "Jack", "Ten"]
##   shuffle(cards)
##   echo cards
##
## These examples all use the default random number generator. The
## `Rand type<#Rand>`_ represents the state of a random number generator.
## For convenience, this module contains a default Rand state that corresponds
## to the default random number generator. Most procs in this module which do
## not take in a Rand parameter, including those called in the above examples,
## use the default generator. Those procs are **not** thread-safe.
##
## Note that the default generator always starts in the same state.
## The `randomize proc<#randomize>`_ can be called to initialize the default
## generator with a seed based on the current time, and it only needs to be
## called once before the first usage of procs from this module. If
## ``randomize`` is not called, then the default generator will always produce
## the same results.
##
## Generators that are independent of the default one can be created with the
## `initRand proc<#initRand,int64>`_.
##
## Again, it is important to remember that this module must **not** be used for
## cryptographic applications.

  ##
  ## This proc is equivalent to 2^64 calls to `next<#next,Rand>`_, and it can
  ## be used to generate 2^64 non-overlapping subsequences for parallel
  ## computations.
  ##
  ## When multiple threads are generating random numbers, each thread must
  ## own the `Rand<#Rand>`_ state it is using so that the thread can safely
  ## obtain random numbers. However, if each thread creates its own Rand state,
  ## the subsequences of random numbers that each thread generates may overlap,
  ## even if the provided seeds are unique. This is more likely to happen as the
  ## number of threads and amount of random numbers generated increases.
  ##
  ## If many threads will generate random numbers concurrently, it is better to
  ## create a single Rand state and pass it to each thread. After passing the
  ## Rand state to a thread, call this proc before passing it to the next one.
  ## By using the Rand state this way, the subsequences of random numbers
  ## generated in each thread will never overlap as long as no thread generates
  ## more than 2^64 random numbers.
