/**
 * SECTION:random_numbers
 * @title: Random Numbers
 * @short_description: pseudo-random number generator
 *
 * The following functions allow you to use a portable, fast and good
 * pseudo-random number generator (PRNG). It uses the Mersenne Twister
 * PRNG, which was originally developed by Makoto Matsumoto and Takuji
 * Nishimura. Further information can be found at
 * <ulink url="http://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~m-mat/MT/emt.html">
 * http://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~m-mat/MT/emt.html</ulink>.
 *
 * If you just need a random number, you simply call the
 * <function>g_random_*</function> functions, which will create a
 * globally used #GRand and use the according
 * <function>g_rand_*</function> functions internally. Whenever you
 * need a stream of reproducible random numbers, you better create a
 * #GRand yourself and use the <function>g_rand_*</function> functions
 * directly, which will also be slightly faster. Initializing a #GRand
 * with a certain seed will produce exactly the same series of random
 * numbers on all platforms. This can thus be used as a seed for e.g.
 * games.
 *
 * The <function>g_rand*_range</function> functions will return high
 * quality equally distributed random numbers, whereas for example the
 * <literal>(g_random_int()&percnt;max)</literal> approach often
 * doesn't yield equally distributed numbers.
 *
 * GLib changed the seeding algorithm for the pseudo-random number
 * generator Mersenne Twister, as used by
 * <structname>GRand</structname> and <structname>GRandom</structname>.
 * This was necessary, because some seeds would yield very bad
 * pseudo-random streams.  Also the pseudo-random integers generated by
 * <function>g_rand*_int_range()</function> will have a slightly better
 * equal distribution with the new version of GLib.
 *
 * The original seeding and generation algorithms, as found in GLib
 * 2.0.x, can be used instead of the new ones by setting the
 * environment variable <envar>G_RANDOM_VERSION</envar> to the value of
 * '2.0'. Use the GLib-2.0 algorithms only if you have sequences of
 * numbers generated with Glib-2.0 that you need to reproduce exactly.
