//! Monte Carlo European-option engine.
//!
//! Port of `ql/pricingengines/vanilla/mceuropeanengine.hpp`: the concrete
//! Monte Carlo engine for European vanilla options. It embeds the [`#451`]
//! [`McVanillaEngineBase`], builds a [`EuropeanPathPricer`] from the option's
//! payoff and the process discount factor (`mceuropeanengine.hpp:132-153`), and
//! delegates the simulation to [`McVanillaEngineBase::run`]. The
//! [`MakeMcEuropeanEngine`] builder ports the C++ `MakeMCEuropeanEngine`
//! factory (`mceuropeanengine.hpp:70`).
//!
//! Divergences from `mceuropeanengine.hpp`, all deliberate:
//! - **concrete Black-Scholes process**: C++ holds a generic
//!   `StochasticProcess` and `dynamic_pointer_cast`s to
//!   `GeneralizedBlackScholesProcess` in `pathPricer()`
//!   (`mceuropeanengine.hpp:142-145`, "Black-Scholes process required"). The
//!   engine here holds a `Shared<GeneralizedBlackScholesProcess>` concretely, so
//!   that downcast is a compile-time fact and cannot fail at run time. The base
//!   still sees the process erased to `dyn StochasticProcess1D`.
//! - **payoff downcast stays a run-time guard**: the option's payoff is an
//!   erased `StrikedTypePayoff`, so the C++ "non-plain payoff given" downcast
//!   (`mceuropeanengine.hpp:137-140`) survives as a run-time `Err` in
//!   [`calculate`](MCEuropeanEngine::calculate), mirroring
//!   [`AnalyticEuropeanEngine`](crate::pricingengines::vanilla::AnalyticEuropeanEngine).
//!
//! The antithetic-variate variance reduction (`mceuropeanengine.hpp:81`) is
//! live: it was deferred as an Err-at-build (#262 class) until #762 ported the
//! single-factor antithetic draw, and #772 lifted the stale rejection, so
//! [`with_antithetic_variate`](MakeMcEuropeanEngine::with_antithetic_variate)
//! now threads the flag through to the engine.
//!
//! Deferred, rejected visibly rather than silently ignored:
//! - **Brownian bridge / control variate**: the C++ builder's
//!   `withBrownianBridge` (`mceuropeanengine.hpp:76`) and the control-variate
//!   machinery are omitted from the builder entirely; the base is always driven
//!   with both flags `false`.
//!
//! Oracle note (divergence catalogue): the MC-vs-analytic test in this module
//! INTENTIONALLY STRENGTHENS QuantLib's own `0.01 * underlying` relative band
//! (`test-suite/europeanoption.cpp:1278`) into the tighter `|mc - analytic| <
//! 3 * error_estimate()` convergence pin, which ties the tolerance to the
//! computed standard error instead of a loose absolute band.

    //! European option with `MakeMCEuropeanEngine<PseudoRandom>().withSteps(1)
    //! .withSamples(40000).withSeed(42)` and checks it against
    //! `AnalyticEuropeanEngine` (`europeanoption.cpp:168-171`). QuantLib uses a

    //! oracle INTENTIONALLY STRENGTHENS that into the `|mc - analytic| <

    //! computed standard error. The OTM leg is kept MODERATE (K=110, near the
    //! money): the `3 * se` Gaussian band is skew-fragile for deep-OTM payoffs
    //! at a fixed seed, which is why QuantLib uses a relative band across
    //! moneyness.
    //!
    //! The `testQmcEngines` low-discrepancy variant (`europeanoption.cpp:1288`)
