/**
 * This is a factory class for generating multiple random number generators
 * of a specific <a href="package-summary.html#algorithms">algorithm</a>.
 * {@link RandomGeneratorFactory} also provides
 * methods for selecting random number generator algorithms.
 *
 * A specific {@link RandomGeneratorFactory} can be located by using the
 * {@link RandomGeneratorFactory#of(String)} method, where the argument string
 * is the name of the <a href="package-summary.html#algorithms">algorithm</a>
 * required. The method
 * {@link RandomGeneratorFactory#all()} produces a non-empty {@link Stream} of all available
 * {@link RandomGeneratorFactory RandomGeneratorFactorys} that can be searched
 * to locate a {@link RandomGeneratorFactory} suitable to the task.
 *
 * There are three methods for constructing a RandomGenerator instance,
 * depending on the type of initial seed required.
 * {@link RandomGeneratorFactory#create(long)} is used for long
 * seed construction,
 * {@link RandomGeneratorFactory#create(byte[])} is used for byte[]
 * seed construction, and
 * {@link RandomGeneratorFactory#create()} is used for random seed
 * construction. Example;
 *
 * <pre>{@code
 *    RandomGeneratorFactory<RandomGenerator> factory = RandomGeneratorFactory.of("Random");
 *
 *     for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
 *         new Thread(() -> {
 *             RandomGenerator random = factory.create(100L);
 *             System.out.println(random.nextDouble());
 *         }).start();
 *     }
 * }</pre>
 *
 * RandomGeneratorFactory also provides methods describing the attributes (or properties)
 * of a generator and can be used to select random number generator
 * <a href="package-summary.html#algorithms">algorithms</a>.
 * These methods are typically used in
 * conjunction with {@link RandomGeneratorFactory#all()}. In this example, the code
 * locates the {@link RandomGeneratorFactory} that produces
 * {@link RandomGenerator RandomGenerators}
 * with the highest number of state bits.
 *
 * <pre>{@code
 *     RandomGeneratorFactory<RandomGenerator> best = RandomGeneratorFactory.all()
 *         .sorted(Comparator.comparingInt(RandomGenerator::stateBits).reversed())
 *         .findFirst()
 *         .orElse(RandomGeneratorFactory.of("Random"));
 *     System.out.println(best.name() + " in " + best.group() + " was selected");
 *
 *     RandomGenerator rng = best.create();
 *     System.out.println(rng.nextLong());
 * }</pre>
