I started with Engines as basis. The library will be very different comparing with Phobos and _any_ other RNG libraries in terms of floating point generation quality. All FP generation I have seen are not saturated (amount of possible unique FP values are very small comparing with ideal situation because of IEEE arithmetic). I have not found the idea described by others, so it may be an article in the future.
Is this a design matter, or an implementation matter? Could you implement the superior FP generation on the existing std.random API? To not be able to vs. to not want to is a different matter; I have an appreciation for each, but we need to clarify. -- Andrei
