// RandomNumberGenerator
//
// This class is used to generate a stream of pseudorandom numbers. The class
// uses a 48-bit seed, which is modified using a linear congruential formula.
// (See Donald Knuth, The Art of Computer Programming, Volume 3, Section 3.2.1.)
// If two instances of RandomNumberGenerator are created with the same seed, and
// the same sequence of method calls is made for each, they will generate and
// return identical sequences of numbers.
// This class uses (probably) weak entropy by default, but it's sufficient,
// because it is the responsibility of the embedder to install an entropy source
// using v8::V8::SetEntropySource(), which provides reasonable entropy, see:
// https://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=2905
// This class is neither reentrant nor threadsafe.
