Comment (by Edward Rudd <urkle@…>):

 @steve_watanabe  if min == max is illegal then shouldn't the ASSERT in the
 constructor be _min < _max instead of "<=" as it is now?  This is rather
 diceiving as I expected it to throw some error in the condition of _min ==
 _max (which in my case only occurred to due a bug in my code that
 calculated the range). Had the assert in uniform_real_distribution been
 correct I would have been able to find the error quicker.
