> For testing/benchmarking dictionary encoding its useful to control the number
> of repeated values and it would also be good to optionally include null
> values. The ability to provide a custom alphabet would be handy for
> generating strings with unicode characters.
>
> Also note that a simple PRNG should be used as the group has observed
> performance trouble with Mersenne Twister.
