It looks like it has a little bit more peer review to get through, but
thanks for the pointer! That's probably the best motivation I've seen
to do the

New sampling algorithms aren't invented *all* that often.
No, but it seems George Marsaglia posted a new prng called KISS4691 to
sci.math last saturday :)

That's intriguing. Do you happen to have a link to it?
Thanks,

Rather than just looking for a new name (e.g., znormal),
would it not be better to decide on a syntax for specifying
PRNG algorithms? (E.g., MATLAB takes such an
approach:

Wouldn't this meet the need for replicability with

The old API has been replaced by a constructor that still takes a
