+ Linear Congruential Random Number Generator
+
+ This specific random number generator is described in
+ "Numerical Recipes in C", 2nd edition, page 284. If you need
+ random numbers with really excellent statistics, take a look
+ at Chapter 7...
+
+ By definition, a linear congruential random number generator
+ is of the form: rand[i+1] = a*rand[i] + c (mod m) for specific
+ values of (a,c,m).
+
+ In this case, choose m = 2**32 and use the low-order 32-bits of
+ the 64-bit product a*N[i]. Knuth suggests the use of a=1664525,
+ H.W. Lewis has tested C=1013904223 extensively. This routine is
+ reputedly as good as any 32-bit LCRN, and costs only a single
+ multiply-add.
+
+ Several variants: 32/64-bit, machine word width,
+ f64 on the closed interval [0,1].
