  /**
   * \brief The exponential distribution for MPFR (the log method).
   *
   * This class is <b>DEPRECATED</b>.  It is included for illustrative purposes
   * only.  The MPFRExponential class provides a much more efficient method for
   * sampling from the exponential distribution.
   *
   * This is an adaption of ExponentialDistribution to MPFR.  The changes are
   * - Use MPFR's random number generator
   * - Use sufficient precision internally to ensure that a correctly rounded
   *   result is returned.
   *
   * This class uses mutable private objects.  So a single MPFRExponentialL
   * object cannot safely be used by multiple threads.  In a multi-processing
   * environment, each thread should use a thread-specific MPFRExponentialL
   * object.
