This is now looking very nicely structured.
The only thing i am unsure are the details around `RandomGenerator` being a
service provider interface. The documentation mentions this at various points
(mostly as implementation notes), but it's not really called out on
`RandomGenerator`.
Trying out the patch, I can implement `RandomGenerator` and register it as a
service:
public class AlwaysZero implements RandomGenerator {
@Override
public long nextLong() {
return 0;
}
}
...
RandomGenerator alwaysZero = RandomGenerator.of("AlwaysZero");
Is that intended? (esp. since the annotation `RandomGeneratorProperties` is not
public). If i rename the above to `L32X64MixRandom` an
`ExceptionInInitializerError` is produced due to duplicate keys.
I suspect you want to filter out the service providers to those that only
declare `RandomGeneratorProperties`, thereby restricting to providers only
supplied by the platform.
