One thing to keep in mind when shuffling is that, by default,
if the input sequence is large enough then most permutations
can never be generated by shuffle. This follows naturally from
the Dirichlet's pigeonhole principle: there are only 2^64 possible
seeds (states of the RNG), but (factorial (count s)) distinct
permutations.
