<p>By default this is implemented in terms of <code>next_u32</code>. An

<p>This uses a technique described by Saito and Matsumoto at
MCQMC&#39;08. Given that the IEEE floating point numbers are
uniformly distributed over [1,2), we generate a number in
this range and then offset it onto the range [0,1). Our
choice of bits (masking v. shifting) is arbitrary and
should be immaterial for high quality generators. For low
quality generators (ex. LCG), prefer bitshifting due to
correlation between sequential low order bits.</p>

an affine transition

<p>By default this is implemented in terms of <code>next_u32</code>, but a
random number generator which can generate numbers satisfying

<p>This has a default implementation in terms of <code>next_u64</code> and
<code>next_u32</code>, but should be overridden by implementations that
offer a more efficient solution than just calling those
methods repeatedly.</p>
<p>This method does <em>not</em> have a requirement to bear any fixed
relationship to the other methods, for example, it does <em>not</em>
have to result in the same output as progressively filling
<code>dest</code> with <code>self.gen::&lt;u8&gt;()</code>, and any such behaviour should
not be relied upon.</p>
<p>This method should guarantee that <code>dest</code> is entirely filled
with new data, and may panic if this is impossible
(e.g. reading past the end of a file that is being used as the
source of randomness).</p>

<h2>Search Tricks</h2>
<p>
Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g.
<code>fn:</code>) to restrict the search to a given type.
</p>
<p>
Accepted types are: <code>fn</code>, <code>mod</code>,
<code>struct</code>, <code>enum</code>,
<code>trait</code>, <code>type</code>, <code>macro</code>,
and <code>const</code>.
</p>
<p>
Search functions by type signature (e.g.
<code>vec -> usize</code> or <code>* -> vec</code>)
