//! This crate implements the [xoshiro] family of pseudorandom number generators
//! designed by David Blackman and Sebastiano Vigna. They feature high
//! perfomance and a small state and superseed the previous xorshift-based
//! generators. However, they are no cryptographically secure and their output
//! can be predicted by observing a few samples.
//!
//! The following generators are implemented:
//!
//! # 64-bit generators
//! - [`Xoshiro256StarStar`]: Recommended for all purposes. Excellent speed and
//!   a state space (256 bits) large enough for any parallel application.
//! - [`Xoshiro256Plus`]: Recommended for generating 64-bit floating-point
//!   numbers. About 15% faster than `Xoshiro256StarStar`, but has a [low linear
//!   complexity] in the lowest bits (which are discarded when generating
//!   floats), making it fail linearity tests. This is unlikely to have any
//!   impact in practise.
//! - [`Xoroshiro128StarStar`]: An alternative to `Xoshiro256StarStar`, having
//!   the same speed but using half the state. Only suited for low-scale parallel
//!   applications.
//! - [`Xoroshiro128Plus`]: An alternative to `Xoshiro256Plus`, having the same
//!   speed but using half the state. Only suited for low-scale parallel
//!   applications. Has a [low linear complexity] in the lowest bits (which are
//!   discarded when generating floats), making it fail linearity tests. This is
//!   unlikely to have any impact in practise.
//! - [`Xoshiro512StarStar`]: An alternative to `Xoshiro256StarStar` with more
//!   state and the same speed.
//! - [`Xoshiro512Plus`]: An alternative to `Xoshiro512Plus` with more
//!   state and the same speed. Has a [low linear complexity] in the lowest bits
//!   (which are discarded when generating floats), making it fail linearity
//!   tests. This is unlikely to have any impact in practise.
//! - [`SplitMix64`]: Recommended for initializing generators of the xoshiro
//!   familiy from a 64-bit seed. Used for implementing `seed_from_u64`.
//!
//! # 32-bit generators
//! - [`Xoshiro128StarStar`]: Recommended for all purposes. Excellent speed.
//! - [`Xoshiro128Plus`]: Recommended for generating 32-bit floating-point
//!   numbers. Faster than `Xoshiro128StarStar`, but has a [low linear
//!   complexity] in the lowest bits (which are discarded when generating
//!   floats), making it fail linearity tests. This is unlikely to have any
//!   impact in practise.
//! - [`Xoroshiro64StarStar`]: An alternative to `Xoshiro128StarStar`, having
//!   the same speed but using half the state.
//! - [`Xoroshiro64Star`]: An alternative to `Xoshiro128Plus`, having the
//!   same speed but using half the state. Has a [low linear complexity] in the
//!   lowest bits (which are discarded when generating floats), making it fail
//!   linearity tests. This is unlikely to have any impact in practise.
