10// Implementation note:
11// ====================
12// C.rand returns a pseudorandom integer from 0 (inclusive) to C.RAND_MAX (exclusive)
13// C.rand() is okay to use within its defined range.
14// (See: https://web.archive.org/web/20180801210127/http://eternallyconfuzzled.com/arts/jsw_art_rand.aspx)
15// The problem is, this value varies with the libc implementation. On windows,
16// for example, RAND_MAX is usually a measly 32767, whereas on (newer) linux it's generally
17// 2147483647. The repetition period also varies wildly. In order to provide more entropy
18// without altering the underlying algorithm too much, this implementation simply
19// requests for more random bits until the necessary width for the integers is achieved.
