A couple of things. Most people who really use random number
generators (RNGs) in science or statistics want to be able to repeat
their experiments. Hence a natural implementation of a RNG is as a
forward iterator. I've been working on an implementation from that
perspective that also addresses the various kinds of RNGs that
computational scientists typically need: binomial, uniform, random
integer, negative exponential, and normal distributions. If people
would like to see the header file, I can mail it to them. E-mail me
