// NOTES:
// * Some documentation on generating random real values suggests that
//   it is possible to use std::nextafter(b, DBL_MAX) to generate a value on
//   the closed range [a, b]. Unfortunately, that technique is not universally
//   reliable due to floating point quantization.
//
// * absl::uniform_real_distribution<float> generates between 2^28 and 2^29
//   distinct floating point values in the range [0, 1).
//
// * absl::uniform_real_distribution<float> generates at least 2^23 distinct
//   floating point values in the range [1, 2). This should be the same as
//   any other range covered by a single exponent in IEEE 754.
//
// * absl::uniform_real_distribution<double> generates more than 2^52 distinct
//   values in the range [0, 1), and should generate at least 2^52 distinct
//   values in the range of [1, 2).
