This has minor changes to eliminate duplicated code between the random-number pkgs. Those who have used functions to obtain values in a range, or to obtain real values from generators that return integer results, may have to make minor changes to their code. Threefry_Random now has a block of comments describing the concept and expected use of encryption-based (counter-based) RNGs, and has a new, pure function that returns a random value to fulfill the expectations of those who have read that counter-based RNGs can be accessed in parallel. -- Jeffrey R.
