//
// Random numbers are generated by a [Source], usually wrapped in a [Rand].
// Both types should be used by a single goroutine at a time: sharing among
// multiple goroutines requires some kind of synchronization.
//
// Top-level functions, such as [Float64] and [Int],
// are safe for concurrent use by multiple goroutines.
//
// This package's outputs might be easily predictable regardless of how it's

	// the high bits of a double-width multiply of x*n, meaning (x*n)/2⁶⁴.
	// Since there are 2⁶⁴ possible inputs x and only n possible outputs,
	// the output is necessarily biased if n does not divide 2⁶⁴.
	// In general (x*n)/2⁶⁴ = k for x*n in [k*2⁶⁴,(k+1)*2⁶⁴).

	// outcomes out of the 2⁶⁴.
	// Now there are exactly floor(2⁶⁴/n) possible ways to produce
	// each output value k, so we've restored uniformity.
	// To get valid uint64 math, 2⁶⁴ % n = (2⁶⁴ - n) % n = -n % n,
