| The Mersenne twister is a pseudorandom number generator developed by |
| Makoto Matsumoto and Takuji Nishimura that is based on a matrix linear |
| recurrence over a finite binary field. It provides for fast generation |
| of very high quality pseudorandom numbers. The source for the C code |
| can be found here: |

| <http://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~m-mat/MT/emt64.html> |
| |
| This library provides a purely functional binding to the 64 bit |
| classic mersenne twister, along with instances of RandomGen, so the |
| generator can be used with System.Random. The generator should |
| typically be a few times faster than the default StdGen (but a tad |
| slower than the impure 'mersenne-random' library based on SIMD |
| instructions and destructive state updates. |
