Comment (by steven_watanabe):

 Replying to [comment:3 johnmaddock]:
 > I wonder if this really makes any difference?  The precision of the
 value of pi in a random number generator is presumably not so important?

 The Random library only works with float, double, and long double anyway.
 I had to make some adjustments to test with NTL and I didn't keep
 those changes.
