//! Trivial deterministic 64-bit generator.
//!
//! [`Weyl`] is not a recommended general-purpose generator: it has insufficient
//! statistical quality for anything but feeding a benchmark or a test. It is
//! here so that all conversion techniques can be driven by the same cheap,
//! inlinable bit stream.

/// A Weyl (additive) generator: the state advances by the golden-ratio
/// constant 0x9E3779B97F4A7C15 and is returned as is.
