// WARNING: This is not the generator you are looking for. This has significant
// caveats:
//   - It is non-cryptographic, so easy to miuse
//   - It is neither fork() nor clone()-safe.
//   - Synchronization is up to the client.
//
// Always prefer base::Rand*() above, unless you have a use case where its
// overhead is too high, or system calls are disallowed.
//
// Performance: As of 2021, rough overhead on Linux on a desktop machine of
// base::RandUint64() is ~800ns per call (it performs a system call). On Windows
// it is lower. On the same machine, this generator's cost is ~2ns per call,
// regardless of platform.
//
// This is different from |Rand*()| above as it is guaranteed to never make a
// system call to generate a new number, except to seed it.  This should *never*
// be used for cryptographic applications, and is not thread-safe.
//
// It is seeded using base::RandUint64() in the constructor, meaning that it
// doesn't need to be seeded. It can be re-seeded though, with
// ReseedForTesting(). Its period is long enough that it should not need to be
// re-seeded during use.
