That's an RNG from 1996. It seems neither recent C++ standards, nor boost, know anything about the modern PRNGs that are much faster yet better at passing test suites

EDIT: Ok the above quote was from 2014, and boost seems to know some now! https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/latest/doc/html/boost_random/...
