 Non-mathematicians might say it means the 'interesting' smallest range
 of random variate x that has the cdf going from zero to unity.
 Outside are uninteresting zones where the pdf is zero, and the cdf zero or unity.
-TODO: fix this sentence: Mathematically, the functions may make sense with an (+ or -) infinite value,
-but this implementation limits random variates to finite values from the `max` to `min` for the `RealType`.
