Hi,

Have anyone involved in the random lib and its standardization considered
a couple of quasi-random generators? I have recently heard of the fancy
named
quasi stuff which simply means that the numbers fill the range more
uniformly
than normal pseudo-random sequences. These sequences are important
for Quasi Monte Carlo integration and for applications that need to
destribute
N samples uniformly in some way without knowing N in advance.

regards

Thorsten
