Uses PCG32, an algorithm of the permuted congruential generator family,

offering very strong randomness.

It can be created via `PcgRandom(seed)` or `PcgRandom(seed, sequence)`.

A 16-bit pseudorandom number generator.

Uses a well-known LCG algorithm introduced by K&R.

It can be created via `PseudoRandom(seed)`.
