So we could pick one of them for Pharo.

I don't see CMWC in PolyMath. The only Marsaglia algorithm I see there
is KISS (which from my reading of the literature is both more complex
than and inferior to CMWC). But the Mersenne Twister is there, and
though complex (possibly unnecessarily so) it is good, AFAICT.
