/// An automatically-implemented extension trait on [`RngCore`] providing high-level
/// generic methods for sampling values and other convenience methods.
///
/// This is the primary trait to use when generating random values.
///
/// # Generic usage
///
/// The basic pattern is `fn foo<R: Rng + ?Sized>(rng: &mut R)`. Some
/// things are worth noting here:
///
/// - Since `Rng: RngCore` and every `RngCore` implements `Rng`, it makes no
///   difference whether we use `R: Rng` or `R: RngCore`.
/// - The `+ ?Sized` un-bounding allows functions to be called directly on
///   type-erased references; i.e. `foo(r)` where `r: &mut RngCore`. Without
///   this it would be necessary to write `foo(&mut r)`.
///
/// An alternative pattern is possible: `fn foo<R: Rng>(rng: R)`. This has some
/// trade-offs. It allows the argument to be consumed directly without a `&mut`
/// (which is how `from_rng(thread_rng())` works); also it still works directly
/// on references (including type-erased references). Unfortunately within the
/// function `foo` it is not known whether `rng` is a reference type or not,
/// hence many uses of `rng` require an extra reference, either explicitly
/// (`distr.sample(&mut rng)`) or implicitly (`rng.gen()`); one may hope the
/// optimiser can remove redundant references later.
///
/// Example:
///
/// ```
/// # use rand::thread_rng;
/// use rand::Rng;
///
/// fn foo<R: Rng + ?Sized>(rng: &mut R) -> f32 {
///     rng.gen()
/// }
///
/// # let v = foo(&mut thread_rng());
/// ```
pub trait Rng: RngCore {
    /// Return a random value supporting the [`Standard`] distribution.
    ///
    /// # Example
    ///
    /// ```
    /// use rand::{thread_rng, Rng};
    ///
    /// let mut rng = thread_rng();
    /// let x: u32 = rng.gen();
    /// println!("{}", x);
    /// println!("{:?}", rng.gen::<(f64, bool)>());
    /// ```
    ///
    /// # Arrays and tuples
    ///
    /// The `rng.gen()` method is able to generate arrays (up to 32 elements)
    /// and tuples (up to 12 elements), so long as all element types can be
    /// generated.
    ///
    /// For arrays of integers, especially for those with small element types
    /// (< 64 bit), it will likely be faster to instead use [`Rng::fill`].
    ///
    /// ```
