Assuming you are ok with signed zero and infinities and "strange" bias as
result of IEEE 754:
func randomNonNanDouble<R: RandomNumberGenerator>(using generator: R) ->
Double {
while true {
let rndUInt64 = generator.next()
let rndDouble = Double(bitPattern: rndUInt64)
if rndDouble != Double.nan { return rndDouble }
}
}
