11//! Pekka Pulkkinen’s leading-zeros technique.
12//!
13//! A Rust port of `Float64_64`, `Float64_117` and `Float64full` from [Pekka
14//! Pulkkinen’s uniFloats
15//! wiki](https://github.com/pekkizen/prng/wiki/uniFloats). One 64-bit word is
16//! interpreted as a uniform fixed-point real in [0 . . 1): the count of leading
17//! zeros picks the binade (a geometric distribution), and the remaining bits
18//! are shifted into the mantissa.
19//!
20//! The three variants differ in how far down the fixed point extends:
21//!
22//! - [`f64_64`] stops at the first word: a uniform real rounded down to the
23//!   2⁻⁶⁴ grid, complete (every float reachable) in [2⁻¹² . . 1);
24//! - [`f64_117`] draws a second word when the first has 12 or more leading
25//!   zeros (probability 2⁻¹²), extending completeness to [2⁻⁶⁵ . . 1)
26//!   with a 2⁻¹¹⁷ grid below;
27//! - [`f64_full`] additionally keeps drawing words while they are zero,
28//!   reaching every float in [0 . . 1), subnormals included.
29//!
30//! All variants consume one word per call with probability 1 − 2⁻¹² and, in
31//! the typical case, cost only a couple of operations more than
32//! [`standard`](crate::standard) scaling.
