(*
   [generator] is the type of random number generators, here the
   linear congruential generators from Paulson 1991, 1996.

   [newgenseed seed] returns a random number generator with the given seed.

   [newgen ()] returns a random number generator, taking the seed from
   the system clock.

   [random gen] returns a random number in the interval [0..1).

   [randomlist (n, gen)] returns a list of n random numbers in the
   interval [0,1).

   [range (min, max) gen] returns an integral random number in the
   range [min, max).  Raises Fail if min > max.

   [rangelist (min, max) (n, gen)] returns a list of n integral random
   numbers in the range [min, max).  Raises Fail if min > max.
