   * \brief Generate random integers, reals, and booleans.
   *
   * Use the random bits from Generator to produce random integers of various
   * sizes, random reals with various precisions, a random probability, etc.
   * RandomCanonical assumes that Generator produces random results as 32-bit
   * quantities (of type uint32_t) via Generator::Ran32(), 64-bit quantities
   * (of type uint64_t) via Generator::Ran64(), and in "natural" units of
   * Generator::width bits (of type Generator::result_type) via
   * Generator::Ran().
   *
   * For the most part this class uses Ran() when needing \e width or fewer
   * bits, otherwise it uses Ran64().  However, when \e width = 64, the
   * resulting code is RandomCanonical::Unsigned(\e n) is inefficient because
   * of the 64-bit arithmetic.  For this reason RandomCanonical::Unsigned(\e n)
   * uses Ran32() if less than 32 bits are required (even though this results
   * in more numbers being produced by the Generator).
   *
   * This class has been tested with the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of MT19937
   * and SFMT19937.  Other random number generators could be used provided that
   * they provide a whole number of random bits so that Ran() is uniformly
   * distributed in [0,2<sup><i>w</i></sup>).  Probably some modifications
   * would be needed if \e w is not 32 or 64.
   *
   * @tparam Generator the type of the underlying generator.
